    Now you are presented with Settings page with options to choose the Mail Send mode for the Add-on.

    You can choose three modes as listed below :

    Run/Send Auto Reply for Each Matching Rule Once Per Thread

    (sends an automated reply to incoming messages. If you receive several messages in a thread, automated reply will be sent once for the matching rule and moves over to next matching rule when next message is received).


    Recommended: As this mode lets you cover complex workflows. For example; in case a customer needs immediate attention, you can set up a 2nd rule with alternate contact in case of emergencies. So for usual cases if you are just letting customers know about some information and they respond again in case they need immediate assistance. You can set a second rule with auto reply template having a contact number for 24×7 helpline or alternate employee contact information.


    Run/Send Auto Reply for Only First Matching Rule Per Thread

    (sends an automated reply to incoming messages. If you receive several messages in a thread, automated reply will be sent only once for the first matching rule and for any new messages received no auto reply will be sent).


    This mode helps users where you want to send only one Auto Response in a day and would like to avoid sending any other auto responses due to a by chance match with another rule.

    Run/Send Auto Reply Every Time

    (sends an automated reply to incoming messages. If you receive several messages in a thread, a matching automated reply for the first matching rule will be sent for every incoming message.)


    Only suitable for unmanned mailboxes, as this choice might increase the number of emails sent to a user or for users with a very specific workflow needing this mode.

    Choose the most suitable mode for your use case and click on save button. Next time the Auto Responses will be sent based on your choice.
