Predefined replies

Open Support > Predefined Replies to save answers you give often. Give each a name and a body. On a ticket, insert one into the reply box and edit it before you send.

Write them with the common placeholders, then personalise. Group related answers by naming them consistently ("Billing - refund policy").

Knowledgebase link

General Settings > Support > Knowledgebase Link shows suggested knowledgebase articles to clients as they type a new ticket. Publish helpful articles in the Knowledgebase and fewer tickets arrive.
