Making a reply message with Chatman is easy; you just need to imagine the scenario for which you're creating it.

Suppose you're in an e-commerce business. Many times, customers might send you messages like 'I need help,' 'Can you help me?' and more.

You can create reply messages to quickly respond back with relevant messages.

Let's create the steps for our above imagination!
