If you sell similar items, you type the same things every day. Sellu stores that
typing in two places: **listing templates** for the sell form, and **quick replies** for
the inbox.

## Listing templates

<Steps>

### Save one

Fill in a listing the way you like it, then click **📝 Save as template** — the button is
injected directly into the marketplace's listing form.

### Make it dynamic

Templates support variables in the title and description:
`{brand}`, `{size}`, `{color}`, `{category}`, `{material}`, `{condition}`.

```text title="template.txt"
Title:   {brand} {category} — {size} {color}
Body:    Great condition {condition} {category} in {color}, size {size}.
         Ships within 2 working days.
```

### Apply anywhere

On any new listing, click **📋 Apply template**. Variables resolve to the *current*
listing's real values — so `{brand} {category} — {size}` becomes
"Carhartt Jacket — L" on one item and "Nike Hoodie — M" on the next.

</Steps>

**The result:** consistent, complete listings in seconds, straight from the marketplace's
own sell form — no copy-pasting from a notes app.

## Quick replies

Saved message snippets with a title and body, managed from the **Inbox** tab's
**Quick replies** manager:

- `@username` is replaced with the buyer's name at send time.
- Spintax `{a|b|c}` picks a random variant, so repeated messages don't read identically.
- Time and country conditionals — `{T9-18:day|night}` and `{FR:Bonjour|Hi}` — adapt the
  message to when and where the buyer is.
- An **⚡ Quick replies** menu appears directly in the marketplace's message composer.
- Usage is counted, and your most-used replies sort to the top.

**The result:** one-tap answers to the questions you get every day, personalized per
buyer. Quick replies also power [bulk replies](/docs/features/inbox-automation) — write
once, answer a hundred buyers.
