Autoresponder

On the "Autoresponder" tab you can configure templates for automated conversations with users.

During work, the numbers that received a reply will be added to the table:

• "Message" — what was written to us.
• "Reply" — what our account replied.

First you need to configure at least one autoresponder template: Configuring the template and rules for the Autoresponder.

Then create a new task for the autoresponder (or edit an existing one) and tick the templates it uses.

How the Autoresponder works

The Autoresponder works like this:

1. The first account is opened (out of those specified for the task).
2. Accounts are checked for new messages.
3. If there are new messages, a template is picked for the reply (see Configuring the template and rules for the autoresponder for details), a rule for the reply is picked, and a reply message is sent. If not, the autoresponder waits for new messages according to the settings.
4. The next account is opened, and the process is repeated.

Creating / editing a task for the Autoresponder

"Creating / editing a task" for the Autoresponder, as well as adding numbers, is similar to Creating / editing a broadcast. You can use the Scheduler to run tasks. Emulators, Accounts, and other settings with the same names are configured the same way as in Private-message broadcasts.

Settings:

• Messages per round — works the same as in a broadcast — how many messages we reply to at a time, i.e. how many messages will be sent per round.
• Maximum wait time for messages on an account — if there are no new messages on an account after opening, the program will wait the specified time; if there are — it will reply right away.
• Maximum number of replies per pass — if more than 1 account is at work, this parameter sets the number of (reply) messages an account will send before hitting its limit and the next account takes over.

You can specify a proxy for work — more: Working through a proxy.
