# Auto Responders

> Automatically reply to specific triggers in chat.

Save time by letting Flamey answer common questions automatically.

## How it Works

When a user's message contains a specific **Trigger**, Flamey will reply with your defined **Response**.

## Creating an Auto Responder

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate">
    Go to **Dashboard > Configuration > Messages > Auto Responders**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add New">
    Click **"Create Responder"**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Trigger">
    Enter the phrase to listen for (e.g., `!ip`, `how to join`, `help`).
    <Tip>Triggers are case-insensitive by default.</Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Response">
    Enter the message Flamey should send back.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```markdown Example: !ip theme={null}
      The server IP is: `play.myserver.com`
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Match Type">
    Choose how strictly to match the trigger:

    * **Exact:** Message must equal the trigger exactly.
    * **Contains:** Message must contain the trigger anywhere.
    * **StartsWith:** Message must start with the trigger.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Advanced Options

<Accordion title="Wildcards & Variables" icon="asterisk">
  You can use `{user}` in the response to mention the person who triggered it.

  Example:
  **Trigger:** `hello bot`
  **Response:** `Hello {user}! 👋`
