### ✎ adding an autoresponder

* to add an autoresponder, you have to use the `/autoresponder add trigger: reply:` command.
* the trigger is what "triggers mimu" to respond with the response. this can be a word or phrase.
* for example, if you want mimu to respond with `hey cutie!` when you type `hi mimu!` you would have to type `/autoresponder add trigger:hi mimu! reply:hey cutie!`

{% hint style="info" %}
it is important that you make sure to split your autoresponder's trigger and response with the `trigger:` and `reply:` options
