# Reply Bot
Reply bot is designed to automatically respond to user queries or messages in real time based on predefined rules configured in settings.
## 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
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Once you are done with the initial setup, you can proceed for advanced configurations.
* You can click on **Add** to start adding configurations.
* Select a condition you want to apply on this reply.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Enter the received message and corresponding reply message for this configuration and click on **Submit.**
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.
