Select multiple options with the Select variable

The Select variable is a great way to select one or more elements from a predefined list to fill your canned response.

In some cases, you'll want to select more than one option. Let's take an example and say you want to select between Max, Bob and Lucy.

What if one, or the three are available for a call? Use the spacebar to select one or more person.

And this will be converted to Max, Bob and Lucy.
