Rules and away mode
"When something comes in, do something": away messages, pings, tasks, drafts, auto-answer and more, from Automation → Rules & auto-answer.
Automation → Rules & auto-answer holds what ChatPilot does by itself when a message comes in. The top of the page shows how many messages auto-answer sent today and the daily limits for replies from rules.
Away mode
Away mode → Turn on sends your away message to people who write to you privately (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack direct messages, e-mail), once a day each. Never for a closing "ok", "thanks", 👍 or sticker, nor right after you wrote to them. With Only when a reply is needed ticked, it waits for ChatPilot's check that the message needs an answer. Edit the text and press Save.
Your rules
＋ New rule, or Use one of the Examples. A rule says when and then:
When (leave a part empty for "any"):
- Apps and Chats (people, groups, channels, e-mail senders), Labels.
- Text contains: words, e.g.
invoice|payment. - ChatPilot says: Urgent, Normal, Low, Bug report, Feature request, needs a reply, ★ VIP.
- When: hours such as
19:00-08:00, or only weekends.
Then (one or more; ＋ action):
| Action | |
|---|---|
| 🔔 Ping me in Telegram | |
| ✓ Mark done, ⏰ Snooze, ☐ Make a task, ↪ Forward to a chat | |
| ✍️ ChatPilot drafts a reply (you send) | With how it should answer. |
| 🤖 ChatPilot replies itself (auto-answer) | Only sends when it's sure, otherwise a draft; limited per chat and day, reported in Telegram. |
| 💬 Send a fixed message | Optionally only when a reply is needed. |
| 🔗 Propose an action (you Run it) | A card from a connected system, filled from the message; a rule never runs it. See Actions in connected systems. |
| 🌙 Background: only in the daily digest | |
| 👤 Assign to a team member | Never takes a chat from someone it was given to by hand, never touches a private chat. |
| 📦 / 🗑 / 🚫 / 📁 Email: archive, delete, spam, move to folder |
Replies and fixed messages go to private chats only, unless you tick also in groups. Save rule. Each rule has an On/Off switch, Edit and Delete, and says how often it ran.
