To configure the atoreply plugin you must create message rules. Each rule consists of a filter and an action. The filter decides whether the action should be applyed to the incoming message. The filter can be used to identify certain phone numbers or incoming message text and react accordingly. The action part of the rule can be used to create a reply or to forward the message to another GSM number.

Example configurations:

REPLY TO SENDER ON ALL INCOMING MESSAGES 

n.*
SENDER Thank you for your message

Code 1 - Setting "Thank you for your message" as an autoreply message

Example: Reply to sender on all incoming messages (Code 1 shows the necessary commands, that should be define in the autoreply preferences window)

Comment:
n.* - means: This rule should be applyed to all incoming messages. (n means the filter applies to the sender phone number and .* means that every number is accepted)
SENDER - This keyword is substituted to the phone number of the sender of the SMS message
Thank you for your message - the message in the outgoing SMS

If you would like to forward the incoming SMS messages to more than one phone number you should insert new row in the list with another phone number and MSG.(eg.:+36205222245 MSG)
