Step 3

Select the keyword auto-reply mode and matching method. Then, set up the keywords to trigger a reply.

Method 1. Basic mode+Matching method "include any keyword"

As long as the customer's message contains any of the keywords, it will trigger a reply.

For example, 
If you set "shipping fee" and "free shipping" as the keywords,
the following message will trigger a reply:
- May I know how much is the shipping fee?
- What is the minimum requirement for free shipping?

Method 2. Basic mode+Matching method "include all keywords"

  • You can enter up to 10 keywords into the field.
  • To edit a keyword, please click the "X" icon next to the keyword and then enter a new one.

The customer's message should include all of the keywords to trigger a reply.

For example: 
If you set "how much" and "free delivery" as the keyword
- This message will trigger a reply:
"How much should I spend to get free delivery"
- This message will not trigger a reply:
"May I know the minimum requirement for free delivery?"

Method 3. Advanced mode

  • You can add up to 10 keywords in each field. Every keyword in the same field is referred to as 1 keyword group. You can add up to 10 keyword groups.
  • Click Add to insert multiple keyword groups. Click the "trash" icon to delete the keyword group.
  • To edit a keyword, please click the "X" icon next to the keyword and then enter a new one.

The customer's message needs to include at least 1 keyword group to trigger a reply.

For example: If you add
- Keyword group 1: "how much"; "shipping fee"
- Keyword group 2: "domestic"; "free shipping"
- Keyword group 3: "international"; "free shipping"

The following message will trigger a reply
- How much is the shipping fee?
- What is the free shipping requirement for domestic shipping?
- Is free shipping applicable to international shipping?

The "What is the domestic shipping fee?" message
will not trigger a reply.

*Notes:

  • Every keyword requires at least 2 characters with no more than 50 characters. 
  • Special characters such as ? , ! @ $ * are not supported.
  • When creating a keyword auto-reply, switching between basic and advanced modes will clear all inserted keywords and replies.
  • Once you have created a keyword auto-reply, you will be unable to change the mode when editing.
  • English letter case will not affect the auto-reply trigger. Any inserted English uppercase will be automatically converted into lowercase.
  • Does not support adding similar keywords under 1 "keyword auto-reply."

  • Does not support using similar keywords in two separate "keyword auto-replies."

    For example:Screen Shot 2023-08-08 at 3.52.03 PM.png

  • When the customer's message simultaneously contains the keywords of two separate keyword auto-replies, the most frequently triggered reply takes precedence. When the trigger frequency of two keyword auto-replies is almost the same, it will randomly select one reply.

 

Step 4

Select your reply content. Click the drop-down menu to select a reply created in the content library.

*Note: Please see this article for more details on the content library.
