  • How to remove the AutoResponder signature at the end of a reply?
    If you do NOT have Premium: Saving a rule after clicking the "Try for free" button irrevocably changes it to a free premium rule and unlocks most premium features. Every reply sent by such a rule will deduct one free premium reply from your reply counter. If you reach 0, replies will still be sent, but the AutoResponder.ai url will be added to the end of your message. Create a new rule, collect more free premium replies by watching ads or get premium to remove the link. If you DO have Premium: Check if the Google account you have purchased AutoResponder with, is still connected to AutoResponder through Google Play. Or maybe your subscription has simply expired or been cancelled. This can be done manually or happens when payment problems arise. Note that unofficial and unlicensed versions of AutoResponder will always send a link to AutoResponder.ai. Get the official versions of AutoResponder ONLY from Google Play instead.
  • Can I select specific messenger accounts if I have multiple?
    Yes, you can select and disable specific versions in the general settings of AutoResponder if each account is installed in a separate messenger app or with the dual messenger feature of your device.
  • Is it possible to connect a Facebook page?
    Yes, just get AutoResponder for FB Messenger and use it in combination with the Facebook Business Suite app. Just download both from Google Play and you are ready to go!
  • My AutoResponder is not working. What can I do?
    Please check the "doesn't work" button at the top right corner of the app and try to restart your device. On some devices (like Xiaomi or Huawei) it's important to add AutoResponder to the ignored list of the device's battery saver in case it stops working occasionally. And for Xiaomi it may also be important to enable "Autostart" there. Step 2 of the "doesn't work" button may help you with that. Try to restart your device afterwards or do step 1 of the "doesn't work" button again. The second paragraph is particularly important if, despite a correct rule, the test feature in AutoResponder also does not work. If it still doesn't work, you can contact me at info@autoresponder.ai for help.
  • Why is AutoResponder asking me to pay for Premium again?
    This might happen if you have multiple Google accounts on your device. Please try to reinstall the app with the right one or remove the other Google accounts temporarily. A simple device restart may also help. Also check if the Google account you have purchased AutoResponder with, is still connected through Google Play. Or maybe your subscription has simply expired or been cancelled. This can be done manually or happens when payment problems arise.
  • AutoResponder repeats and sends duplicate replies. What to do?
    In case you just want to pause a rule after a reply was sent: Please use the Pause rule for… option at the bottom of your rule. In case AutoResponder sends duplicated replies to one received message: Duplicated replies can be fixed by doing step 1 of the "doesn't work" button at the top right corner of the app. Just disable and enable notification access again. If that doesn't help, please try to use the “prevent repeating rules” option in the General settings of AutoResponder and set it to at least 2 seconds.
  • Why is the ChatGPT response showing me an error?
    Please check all troubleshooting steps shown at this page. Make sure your API key is valid. Make sure you have enough free funds in your OpenAI account or that a credit card is connected here (You'll only be billed at the end of each calendar month for usage during that month - the default model has a fair price). Make sure you didn't hit your maximum monthly spend (hard limit), otherwise increase it. Your OpenAI account needs to be a member of an organization to use the API. All parameters need to be correct as described in the GPT documentation (e.g. the model name, temperature setting etc.). Make sure the prompt+response combined doesn't exceed the supported 4096 token limit. Check your internet connection. When using a different model, please check if you have already access to that model. Some require you to sign up for a waitlist on OpenAI. Especially important is connecting a credit card here if you ran out of free credits.
  • Can't install AutoResponder?
    If you have never installed AutoResponder before, please look here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/14122894 If you already had a version of AutoResponder installed: This is usually because a version of AutoResponder is still installed on the device (e.g. for another user or, on Samsung devices, in the Secure Folder). In this case, this version must be uninstalled first. If you had previously installed an unofficial version of AutoResponder, you probably clicked "Keep app-data" when uninstalling. This means that the wrong app's data is still installed, meaning the official version cannot be installed. The remaining data can be removed through one of these ways: - Install the unofficial version again and uninstall it completely - Reset your device to factory settings (but you will also lose all other data) - Try to remove the leftovers using ADB and a computer: https://www.makeuseof.com/uninstall-android-app-adb-system-apps-bloatware/ Unfortunately, there is no easier solution as Android is not designed to use unofficial apps. So don't even do that!
