What is an Autoresponder?
An autoresponder is a type of text message campaign that gets triggered when a contact texts a certain keyword. The keyword triggers an automated response and automatically puts the contact into a group.
How to Create an Autoresponder Text:
Navigate to the Autoresponders module
Click New Autoresponder
Name your Autoresponder
Assign a group
Enter a keyword
Type your keyword response
Enter an unsubscribe keyword
Type your unsubscribe keyword response
1. Navigate to the Autoresponders Module in MessageDesk
2. Click the Green + New Autoresponder Button to Create a New Autoresponder
3. Give Your Autoresponder a Descriptive Name.
This is only for your own reference.
4. Select the group you'd like associated with this autoresponder.
When a contact texts your autoresponder keyword, they'll get added to a group.
5. Create a Keyword Trigger
Keywords trigger an autoresponse. When a contact texts your MessageDesk number with the given keyword, they'll automatically get a response.
6. Type Your Keyword Response
Use the message compose features to apply a template, emojis, tags, or even attach media. This is the response a contact will receive once they text your autoresponder keyword.
7. Create an Unsubscribe Keyword
When a contact texts this keyword, they'll automatically stop receiving messages from this keyword group.
8. Type Your Unsubscribe Keyword Response
This is the autoresponse a contact will receive once they text your unsubscribe keyword.
