  • Go to the Advanced section in the autoresponder settings.

Add a Time Delay

Want to delay the autoresponse instead of sending it immediately?

  • Navigate to the Advanced section and locate the Delay Time option.

  • Set a delay ranging from a few minutes to several days.

This is perfect for:

  • Sending reminders after a certain period.

  • Avoiding immediate follow-ups for better engagement.

  • Scheduling responses at the right time.

For example, if a respondent fills out a feedback form, you can delay the email by 24 hours to ensure they receive it at an optimal time.

Set Conditional Rules for Autoresponse

Want to trigger emails only when certain conditions are met?

  • Use the Rules option to define conditions based on the respondent’s input.

  • The email will only be sent if the responses meet your set criteria.

Examples:

  • Send a different confirmation email based on the respondent’s selected service.

  • Only send follow-up emails if the respondent chooses Interested in a demo.

  • Trigger personalized emails based on survey responses.

By setting up conditions, you can create a more targeted and relevant email experience for your users.
