Auto-Reply Bot
An auto-reply bot responds to customer messages without your involvement. Perfect for off-hours, common questions, and initial request handling.
Scenario
User writes → bot checks keywords → responds with appropriate message
Building It
1. Prepare the Project
Create a project and add a Telegram trigger with a bot token.
2. Add Branching
Add a step with a chain of if conditions:
Condition 1 — greeting:
"{=message=}" == "/start" || "{=message=}" == "hello"
Response: Hello! How can I help you?
Condition 2 — pricing:
"{=message=}" == "prices" || "{=message=}" == "pricing" || "{=message=}" == "cost"
Response: Our plans: [link to pricing]. Contact a manager for a custom quote.
Condition 3 — contacts:
"{=message=}" == "contacts" || "{=message=}" == "phone"
Response: Phone: +7 (XXX) XXX-XX-XX. Email: info@company.com
Default response:
Thank you for your message! A manager will contact you during business hours (Mon-Fri, 9:00-18:00).
3. Add Buttons
Make navigation easier with buttons:
Choose a topic:
{buttons:[[Pricing] [Contacts]][[Business Hours] [Ask a Question]]}
