Fixed text, keyword and AI replies
Every reply in an automation has a Reply type:
- Fixed text: the same reply every time, with optional variations.
- By keyword: a different reply for each keyword, such as price, size or location. Leave the last keyword empty for a default reply to anything else.
- Written by AI: the AI writes each reply from your instructions. See AI replies.
Variations and names
- Write
{name}to insert the person's name. - Write
{Hi|Hello|Hey}and Sospark picks one at random. Variations make repeated replies look less like a bot, and platforms are less likely to flag them.
Required and excluded words
- Required words: only reply when the comment contains one of them.
- Excluded words: never reply when it contains one of them.
Match types: Contains word (anywhere in the text), Exact match (the whole text), or a regular expression for advanced users.
Templates contain example text in square brackets. Replace it with your own details; Sospark will not save an active automation that still has it.
