How do i use Auto response tool

[Annie1779]

Hi SL friends,

 

Ok, i am trying to set up my autoresponse message for other people.

 

But not sure where to look for it.

 

Anyone can guide me on this?

Autorespond is an option in the Firestorm viewer. To the best of my knowledge, it's not available in the Linden Lab viewer.

To access it, go to: Avatar > Preferences > Privacy > Autoresponse 1 & 2. You will find text boxes into which you can type your autoresponses.

Example (please excuse the language. I don't mince my words!) -

Once you've set them up, enable them by going to: Comm > Online Status and choosing which option you want:

@Skell Dagger - I love this.  I don't think I've bothered to populatae mine, but this gives me incentive.

I have used auto reply for years because I stay on all the time. After all said and done its better not to IMHO.

I need to set mine back up but it usually says, If you are getting this message, this means I've blocked you and have no interest in anything you have to say. Enjoy your Second Life as I enjoy mine without you.

I don't bother.  If I used the Autoresponse, I would probably write something incredibly obvious like  (oh, gosh, I have forgotten which old TV detective did it ..), "I'm not here.  If you want to leave a message, go ahead."

Yes... but, no special case is made for contacts that hit 'busy autoresponse' and other offline IM's that push you to the message cap. So, those messages will be lost too, when you hit cap.

Where are you unticking it and which viewer are you using?

yes and no. some auto responses do not cause a message to show up in your im box i think. only the other user gets the message and you see nothing. oh and for those that have never used it there is an option on the second auto response page that lets you send an item to the person getting the response. you can add a notecard with a more detailed response if you wanted or maybe a picture.

so go through each of the auto responses by turning them on and then read what they say just so you know which do and do not actually show you something. for I think if you set unavailable you won't see anything and if you refuse group invites or tp requests or friend requests you won't see those either.

LOL.. I didn't even realize the original post was from last year. just seen the date on the most recent reply.
