Auto-responses

Trigger words that make the bot reply — with cooldowns, variables and per-server scope.

Auto-responses answer the questions you'd otherwise answer twenty times a week. Someone types a trigger, the bot replies.

Set it up

Open the Auto-Responses page (the plugin is on by default).
Add auto-reply → enter the trigger and the reply.
Pick where it applies under Where active: all servers in the network, or only the servers you tick.

Each auto-reply has its own on/off switch in the list, so you can pause one without deleting it.

Mode	Fires when
Substring	the trigger appears anywhere in the message
Whole word	the trigger appears as a whole word
Wildcard (* ?)	the message matches a pattern — `*` stands for any text, `?` for one character
Regex (advanced)	the message matches a regular expression

Matching ignores upper/lower case.

Plain text by default. Set an Embed title and the bot replies with an embed card instead.
Random variants — up to 10 alternative replies; the bot picks one at random each time.
Channel restriction — pick the channels the reply may trigger in (names with their IDs next to them; in a network, channels of the other servers are listed too). Empty = all channels.
Cooldown (seconds per user) — the same member can't trigger it more often than that. Default 60, maximum 3600, 0 = no cooldown.

The bot replies directly to the triggering message, without pinging anyone.

{user} is the display name of whoever triggered it (plain text, no ping), {server} is the server name, {channel} is the channel name.

The bot never answers its own messages, other bots or webhooks.
Only one auto-reply fires per message. Avoid triggers that overlap — which one wins is not guaranteed.
A response scoped to one server is invisible on the others, which is the point: the same trigger can mean different things on a main server and a sub-server.

Requirement: Send Messages and Read Message History in the channels where responses should fire (plus Embed Links for embed replies).
