# Snippets

Snippets help you send templated DMs faster by saving time copy-pasting or typing the same message repeatedly.

To insert a snippet, type ; in the text box or click the snippet button.

You can keep typing the name of the snippet e.g. ;hi to pick the snippet you want to insert, then hit Enter.

You can create and edit snippets in the snippet settings: [https://app.trykondo.com/snippets](https://app.trykondo.com/snippets)

There is no limit on the number of snippets you can create.

### Variables

When creating a snippet, you can use the variables available on the right menu within your template. Kondo fills the name variables for you: `{{short_name}}`, `{{first_name}}`, `{{last_name}}` and `{{full_name}}`.

Adding a custom placeholder will prompt you to fill up the variable with your own custom text before sending. You can add a custom placeholder by inserting a `{{phrase}}` in double curly brackets within the template (1–5 words).
