Auto Responders

Create automatic responses to specific triggers in your server

Overview

Auto responders automatically reply when members send messages containing specific triggers. Perfect for FAQs, keyword responses, memes, and automated interactions. Supports text replies, reactions, and custom embeds with advanced flags for precise control.

Auto responders can be text messages, emoji reactions, or custom embeds with optional flags for fine-tuned behavior.

Tips & Best Practices

Design Tips

• Use exact flag for command-style triggers
• Use includes for keyword detection
• Combine delete flag for cleaner channels
• Keep responses concise and helpful
• Test responders before deploying

Flag Strategy

• exact — Best for commands (!help, !rules)
• start — Good for prefix triggers
• includes — Great for keyword detection
• delete — Useful for hiding trigger messages
• case — When case matters (names, acronyms)

Avoid

• Too many generic triggers (hello, hi, hey)
• Responders that conflict with each other
• Overly long responses
• Triggers that are too common
• Using bot flag unless needed

---

Troubleshooting

Responder Not Triggering

1. Check trigger spelling matches exactly
2. Verify flags - exact requires perfect match
3. Ensure bot has Send Messages permission
4. Check if case flag is causing issues
5. Try ~ar list to verify it exists

Response Not Showing

1. Verify bot has Embed Links permission (for embeds)
2. Check bot has Add Reactions permission (for reactions)
3. Ensure response text is valid
4. Test with a simple text response first

”Trigger Already Exists”

You’re trying to add a trigger that already exists.

Solutions:

• Use ~ar remove <trigger> first
• Or use ~ar edit <trigger> response <new text>
• Check ~ar list to see existing triggers
