Autoreplies
Reply automatically when a message matches: answer common questions, point people to the rules, or greet a keyword, with text, embeds, buttons and even a custom name and avatar.
By the end, you'll have
- Replies that send themselves when a message matches your rules
- Rich replies with embeds, link buttons or a custom name and avatar
- Cooldowns and filters so replies don't get spammy
Before you start
- Manage Server, so you can open the dashboard.
- Dreamliner with Send Messages and Read Message History in those channels.
If people keep asking the same question, let Dreamliner answer. Autoreplies watches new messages and replies when one matches a rule. It's free, with no limit on rules.
Contains, starts with, exact, regex or every message.
Text, embeds, link buttons and webhooks.
Cooldowns, every Nth match and file or link filters.
Step 1 · about 3 min
Add a rule
Write your first autoreply.
- On the dashboard, open Engagement and click Autoreplies. Switch on Enabled.
- Press Add rule.
- Set the match first. Under Match, pick Contains and type the trigger, like "how do i verify".
- Under Reply, write the Message text and optionally pick a Channel.
- Press Save.
Matching options
| Match | Replies when… |
|---|---|
| Every message | Always (best with a channel and a cooldown). |
| Contains | The text appears anywhere in the message. |
| Starts with | The message begins with the text. |
| Exact | The whole message is exactly the text. |
| Regex | A regular expression matches, like \bhelp\b for the whole word. |
Matching ignores capitals. Under Limits, add Every Nth match, Attachments only, Links only or a Cooldown (seconds). If several rules match, each one replies.
Step 2 · about 3 min
Make the reply look great (optional)
Add embeds, buttons or a custom sender.
| Sending option | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Reply to the message | Shows the reply as a reply to the trigger message. | On |
| Silent | No notification sound. | Off |
| Allow @user / @role mentions | Mentions in the reply actually ping. | On |
| Allow @everyone / @here | Lets @everyone ping. | Off |
Placeholders like {user}, {user_display}, {guild}, {channel} and {member_count} work in the text and embed. "User" is the person who sent the trigger message.
Good to know
- Messages from bots and webhooks never trigger a reply, and edited messages don't either.
- A rule for a channel also works in that channel's threads.
- There are no commands: rules live on the dashboard.
- Moving from MEE6 or Dyno? The Autopilot button and Switch can import your autoresponders.
You're set up
What you just did
- Added a rule with the right match
- Styled the reply

Common questions
Dreamliner is replying to every message!
A rule is set to Every message, probably a new one. Change its match, or delete it, and save.
My regex never matches.
Very complex or unsafe patterns are refused for safety. Simplify it, and test with Contains first.
