Create a simple auto-responder

Use this flow to automatically respond to incoming messages with a plain text message on WhatsApp or any channel of your choice!

How it works

  1. Conversation created: The flow is triggered when an incoming message is received from a customer.

  2. Send plain text message to conversation: The flow immediately responds to the incoming message with a predefined plain text message, acknowledging receipt and providing a response to the customer.

How to use the flow

What you’ll need

  • At least one installed channel

  • The plain text message you want to send as an auto-response

How to set up

  1. Go to Flows > Template library and locate and select the 'Simple Auto-Responder' flow.

  2. Click Save to my library in the top right-hand corner.

  3. The trigger is automatically configured for WhatsApp, but you can change the trigger to a channel of your choice

Send plain text message to conversation

  1. Within the flow, locate the 'Send plain text message to conversation' action.
