Mollyvog seeks help setting up an auto-responder for private messages (PMs) using the Discourse Automation plugin. Despite configuring an out-of-office message, the auto-responder isn’t working. Moin assists by asking about the key field in the configuration and shares screenshots of their successful setup. Mollyvog reveals they left the key blank but resolves the issue by deleting and recreating the group. Mollyvog expresses gratitude for the help. haydenjames mentions good timing as they were also looking for this functionality, noting it’s an additional plugin. tobiaseigen clarifies that automation is now included in the core, eliminating the need for separate installation.
Can someone help me out here please? I am trying to set up an auto-responder for when my account receives a PM. I want users to receive an auto response directing them to our email address and other moderators before I go on leave for 2 weeks. These are the settings:
In the configuration I’ve entered in an out of office type message.
When either sending or receiving PMs, nothing happens.
Can anyone steer me right please?
Thanks for replying - I left key blank.
By deleting the group and then making a new one, it worked! Thank you for your help. What a handy wee tool!
Talk about good timing. I was just looking for this. Didn’t realize it was an additional plugin!
Luckily automation is now included-in-core so there is no need to install it.
