Set up auto responses

In the channel you want Element to answer in, type /autoresponse message add and pick it from the list.

Give the trigger a name so you can find it later, such as events. Names are up to 30 characters and can't repeat within a channel. Leave channel empty to use the channel you're in.

A trigger only listens in its own channel. To answer the same words somewhere else, add another trigger there.

Element answers with the Message Trigger Builder. Its buttons are in three rows:

• Settings turns the trigger on or off, and chooses between replying and sending.
• Conditions decide when it fires.
• Actions decide what Element does.

New triggers start off, so nothing happens until you finish and switch it on in step 5.

Click Words to Match and type the words or phrases, separated by commas.

The trigger fires when a message contains any of them, anywhere in the message. Capital letters don't matter, so event matches "Event?", "events" and "when's the event".

If you know regular expressions, Regex takes a pattern of up to 200 characters instead. A trigger with both fires when either one matches. Lookbehinds and backreferences aren't allowed.

Pick one or more actions. They all happen together when the trigger fires.

• Message Response sends a message of up to 300 characters, exactly as you type it.
• Add Reaction reacts to the message with one emoji. Type the emoji, or its name like :wave:.
• Add Roles and Remove Roles change the roles of the person who sent the message, up to 2 roles each. You need Manage Roles to set these.

Click Message Trigger: OFF. It turns green and reads Message Trigger: ON, and Element confirms it.

Want Element to reply to the message instead of posting on its own? Click Reply: OFF to switch it to Reply: ON.

Send a message with one of your words in the trigger's channel. Element answers straight away.

Element ignores messages from bots, including its own, so a bot can't set a trigger off.

• /autoresponse message view lists the triggers in the server, or in one channel.
• /autoresponse message edit opens the builder for a trigger again. In edit mode you can also rename it or move it to another channel.
• /autoresponse message remove deletes triggers. Choose one to delete a trigger by name, channel to delete every trigger in a channel, or serverwide to delete them all. Element asks you to confirm a serverwide delete.

Auto reactions are the other half of auto-responses. Element reacts with a member's emojis whenever a message mentions them, in any channel.

Run /autoresponse reaction add, pick the member and type up to 3 emojis separated by spaces. You can type part of an emoji's name, and Element looks for it in your server first, then in its own emojis.

/autoresponse reaction view shows them, and /autoresponse reaction remove takes them away for one member (all or many) or for everyone (serverwide).
