Anne, this was SO SUPER HELPFUL! Thank you so much 🙂 This is going to make things so much quicker!

Can you save an attachment as a 'canned response'…I don't think you can but thought I would ask.

Thank you 🙂

Hi Liz

You certainly can save a canned response with attachments, just need to make sure you select the Google Drive symbol and you can either insert a link or the attachment. Once done you can update your saved canned response. If you have issues, let me know and I'll do some screen shots for you.
