# Reply Bot

## Features

1. **Automatic Reply**: Set up the bot to respond to specific keywords or phrases. For example, when someone types "Hey," the bot replies with "Hello there! How can we help you?".
2. **Welcome Messages**: Configure the bot to automatically greet new members in a group with a warm welcome message.

## Usage

First things first, you can add the reply bot from the home page after your login. For more info on how to add a bot and its initial setup, have a look [here](https://docs.quickbotify.com/fundamentals/getting-set-up).

### Automatic Reply

{% step %}
Once you are done with the initial setup, you can proceed for advanced configurations.

So, for this particular example, whenever the bot finds a message which contains the text H**ey,** it will be replying **Hello there! How can we help you?.** Note that this is case insensitive.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% step %}
Go to settings of your reply bot.
{% endstep %}
