Auto Reply Pro lets you do more by helping you automate complex workflows. By adding more rules, which are executed in sequence. So, let’s say you have one rule set to respond to incoming emails containing words offers, discounts. You can set one more rule with an entirely different response for emails containing words gift baskets, gift, gift wrap.

By default Google allows you to send only one auto response per day to incoming emails from one contact. But Auto Reply Pro allows you to send multiple auto responses depending on the conditions set. Not just that you can set the Add-ons with different mail send modes ( Run and Send Auto Reply once for each matching rule per thread or for first matching rule per thread Or every time for all incoming mails per thread). Click here to learn more about Setting Mail Send Modes.

Click on Add New Auto Reply in the left menu and enter a name that correlates to the rule. In this case we are naming this rule gift-send as it covers any incoming emails with words gift and gift basket.

Under conditions, please select mail contains any of these words in Mail Message and we will add words gift,gift basket. You may choose to set conditions as per your needs.

Add suitable email content for the Auto Response. Set any other settings as required and explained while setting up the first rule example above. and Click on Create Auto Reply and we are done!

New rule has been added to the list of rules.

Tip: Please keep more complex scenarios up in the order and more common scenarios in the end. As the rules are executed in preference of sequence.

For example if you have a complex condition like email content has words and email is from a specific domain in a rule. Keep that in front of a rule with very generic condition like send auto response if the mail contains a specific word. This will help the Add on to check the conditions in complex to simpler order and increase the chances of sending a very specific and relevant response.

You can click the three dots icon displayed in right far side next to the rule name in each card and choose Change/Order Priority. Click here to read the tutorial on changing Order/Priority.
