If you have any questions throughout or get stuck, feel free to visit our Support Server.
For this guide we will be creating an auto responder that responds to a message such as 'Hi, I need help!'.
Create a Discord Event (When a message is created) and nickname it as you wish. For this guide It will be called "Auto Responder". Once you have named it, to create the event click on + Create button.
To create the auto response we will be using a series of comparison conditions & message blocks.
This guide will be using embeds, but you can use any message component you wish.
As mentioned above we will be creating a response to a message such as 'Hi, I need help'. To check if the message created is that message we need to setup the comparison condition as follows:
{created_message}
I need help
() Contains
To add a comparison condition to your event builder, you will need to click on the conditions tab (next to the actions tab). Once navigated to the conditions tab, click and drag the comparison condition onto your event canvas.
Check to see if the comparison condition is linked to the main event tree, if not link it up so the event can function.
As mentioned above, we are going to use the embed reply message component for the response.
To keep this simple we are just going to respond with "Hello @user, I see you're needing support? If you have any questions related to our service, you can head to our #support channel, where someone can assist you further!"
To add the message component to our builder we will add the "Embed reply" to our event.
We want the bot to reply to the message the user sent, so we will set the reply type to Reply to Message.
We want the bot to respond to the message that has been sent, so the message selector will not work in this case, so we have to set the message type to Message ID.
The Message ID value will be: {created_message[id]}
In the description of your message component, paste in this text below:
Hello {interaction[member]}, I see you're needing support? If you have any questions related to our service, you can head to our <#CHANNEL-ID> channel, where someone can assist you further!
Replace CHANNEL ID with your support channel you would like users to go to, to ask questions / ask for support.
You can set the embed color to any color you would like to use, for this guide we are just using the default hex color Botwiz provides!
Once you have finished setting up your response, you can save the event and try it out!
That is the response setup, if you have any other questions related to botwiz or about this guide feel free to visit our Support Server!
