Frequently Asked Questions

Does Web Text Expander work with our support platform?

Yes, if it's web-based. Confirmed working: Zendesk, Gmail, Intercom, Help Scout, Freshdesk, and social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn). Web Text Expander is a Chrome/Firefox extension, so it works wherever you can type in your browser.

Can we share responses across our team?

Yes! Anyone on your team can export their shortcut library as a file and share it with others. Team members simply import it into their own extension. This is great for sharing best practices, onboarding new agents with proven responses, or maintaining consistency across your team. You can also keep personal shortcuts separate and only share specific response sets. (Note: Real-time team sync isn't currently supported.)

What's the character limit on Free?

The Free version supports up to 300 characters per shortcut (with unlimited number of shortcuts). Perfect for short responses. Plus removes all limits, making it ideal for detailed policies, troubleshooting guides, or multi-paragraph responses.

Can we customize responses for each customer?

Yes! Plus includes smart cursor positioning. Set where your cursor lands after expansion. This is perfect for adding customer names, order numbers, or specific details while keeping the core response consistent.

Is this secure for customer data?

Your shortcuts are stored locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers. No customer data is exposed. Perfect for teams with privacy or compliance requirements.

What if we need to update a response?

Update it once in your library, then export and reshare with your team. Everyone imports the updated version. It takes less than a minute to keep the whole team aligned.
