#### **Tracking numbers WITHOUT & WITH a Custom Shipping Link:**

In order to set up your Custom Shipping Links, please visit **Tools => Custom Shipping Links.**

Click the **Create New** button.

In the Creation window, you will need to **give your Shipping Service a name**.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that the Shipping Service name **should be exactly the same** text you see in the Order Details section inside of a ticket.
{% endhint %}

Once done, insert a **basic tracking link** for this Shipping Service.

{% hint style="info" %}
A **Basic Tracking Link** is a link that you use for checking the status of your parcel but **without a tracking number itself**.

Here is an example.\
The full Tracking Link is <https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item#/tracking-results/QQ057975716GB>\
A Basic Tracking Link would be: [https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item#/tracking-results/](https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item#/tracking-results/QQ057975716GB)\

Once done, click **Save**.

## Snippets

**Already using Replyco Templates, but would like to make your replies more personalized without spending additional time? You have come to the right place!**

Simply put, Snippets are predefined pieces of text, which are pretty similar to Templates. But unlike Templates, which can only be used once during a customer response, snippets can be used many times in a row.

To start using snippets, follow our simple step-by-step guide below.

### Step 1: Go to Snippets

Just click **Tools** on the left sidebar and then choose **Snippets**.

![Open the Snippets page](/files/s9yeWtffy2O3eo4dvb5P)

### Step 2: Create a Snippet

Click the **+ Create New** button on your top right.

![Click the + Create New button](/files/09x3ZjMF8a4DigquV1wx)

Now you have entered the Snippet creation mode. Here are the meanings of fields and settings:

* **Template Name** - this will be the name of your snippet. To activate your snippet, you will need to type "/" with the name of it.
* **"Enter text here..."** field - this is the text that will replace the snippet name during the snippet activation. Please note that Tags also might be inserted here.
* **"Available for everyone"** option - this option defines who will have an access to this snippet. If **enabled**, then this snippet will be visible to every user in your Company. Once **disabled**, this snippet will be available for you only.

Once you finished creating a snippet, click **Save**.

### Step 3: Using a Snippet

When you are replying to a ticket, **type "/"** and **choose** one of the available snippets to replace it with your predefined text.

Pretty simple, isn't it? Combine your Snippets with Templates and Tags to take your customer service to the next level.

## Fallbacks

**Worried about sending an empty space instead of a #tag# information? Leave this in past with our Fallbacks functionality.**

{% hint style="warning" %}
Access Rights needed: **Tools => Fallbacks (View & Edit)**
{% endhint %}

Sometimes, when you use **#tags#**, you might find out that **nothing is being sent instead of the Order information** related to a tag.

This happens when **Order Details do not contain a certain piece of information yet**. There are numerous reasons for that.

Fallbacks put a **pre-set phrase** if a system finds nothing to place instead **of missing order information**.

To set up Fallbacks, please visit **Tools => Fallbacks**:

<figure><img src="/files/7Ad7V48QYoTGxGFQqWWv" alt=""><figcaption><p>Fallbacks page.</p></figcaption></figure>

On the Fallbacks page, you will find all #tags# Replyco has. Each #tag# has a field, where you may type the replacement phrase.

Once done, click the **Save** button at the bottom of the page:

Above is an example of using the Fallback feature. Say goodbye to awkward #tags# situations.
