Auto-Responses

Auto-responses automatically send a message when a ticket is created matching certain criteria. They fire instantly when the ticket opens — before any staff member has responded.

â„šī¸Pro feature

Auto-responses are available on Pro and Business tiers.

How Auto-Responses Work

You configure auto-responses per ticket type in Ticket Configuration. When a ticket of that type is opened, TixBot automatically sends the response in the ticket channel. This can include helpful information, links, or instructions to give users something useful while they wait for a staff member.

Good Uses for Auto-Responses

  • â€ĸEstimated response time — "Thanks for opening a ticket. Our team aims to respond within 1 hour."
  • â€ĸRequired information — "Please share your order ID and email address so we can look into this quickly."
  • â€ĸOut of hours notice — inform users when support is offline
  • â€ĸDocumentation links — point users to relevant docs that might resolve their issue before staff respond
âš ī¸Keep auto-responses brief

Auto-responses are sent before staff arrive. A wall of text can feel impersonal. Keep them short, warm, and actionable — one or two sentences is usually enough.
