AutoAnswersBot: replies while you are busy

Clients write at 10 p.m., on weekends and exactly when you are driving. AutoAnswersBot puts an auto-responder on your personal Telegram account. It replies in private chats, groups and even conversations with bots, following rules you set. 🤖

About 7,400 people use it monthly. There is a free trial, after which it runs on a subscription you buy with /payment. The interface is mainly Russian, with a /language switch.

What the auto-responder does

• Reply to everything or to phrases. Answer every message or only specific keywords.
• Message chains. A sequence of replies, like a simple sales script.
• One-time greeting. New contacts get a single welcome, no repeats.
• AI replies. ChatGPT writes the answer from your prompt, and you can choose the model.
• Any format. Text, photos, videos, voice, documents, round videos, albums of up to 10 files.
• Follow-ups. If the contact goes quiet, the bot can nudge them.

Fine control

This is where AutoAnswersBot outdoes simple responders: there are many filters and options. 🎛️

• When. Weekdays, time ranges, pausing while you are online.
• To whom. Chat type, specific chats, exclusions, a single group member.
• How. Fixed or random delays, simulated typing, quoting, inline buttons.
• Personal touch. Variables for the contact's name and username, text variation like [Hi|Hello].
• Stop word. Switches off auto-replies in a chat when a human needs to step in.

Project settings can be exported and imported, and /multibot creates a separate bot for broadcasts.

Five ways to connect your account

This is the key thing to understand first. The responder acts as your account, so it needs access.

1. Telegram Business. Add the bot under chat automation in your profile settings. No code or cloud password needed. Requires Telegram Premium.
2. Phone number. Telegram sends a login code that you enter in the bot.
3. QR code. Scan it under Devices.
4. API ID and API Hash from your own app on Telegram's developer site.
5. tdata session import as an archive.

Security: choose wisely

Methods 2 to 5 create a full session of your account on the service's server. That session can read all your chats and contacts. It is the standard approach for tools like this, but it requires trust. 🔐

• Prefer Telegram Business if you have Premium, since access is limited to business features.
• Turn on a cloud password in privacy settings if you have not yet.
• Check Devices. The service's session is listed there and can be ended with one tap.
• Watch for scammers. Enter login codes only in the official bot, and never send them to people.

Who it helps

Freelancers and service providers who get the same price and booking questions in DMs, sellers who do not want to lose leads overnight, community admins redirecting group questions to private chats, and anyone going on vacation who wants to let people know politely. 🏖️

If something breaks, use /support. In some countries Telegram restricts API login codes, and QR or Business connection works instead.
