Auto-response agent - add a subject?

Hello,I’m creating a simple agent to reply to any emails sent to a specific mailbox. Everything’s fine, but the auto-responses have no subject, and there’s no text box to configure this in the ‘simple action’ in the Agent.

Is there a simple way to implement something like this?

thanks,

Dan

Subject: Simple Action

Try using Agent > Simple Actions > Add Action… > Send Mail Message > More… and calculate “To” and enter a “Subject”.

Thanks,

Now, for a non-coder, do you know how I can grab the sender’s address for the “To:”

cheers,

I’d suggest:

@If(ReplyTo != “”; ReplyTo; From)

However, you might want to consider writing the agent in macro language so that you can do a little conditional branching. It’s best to avoid replying to messages that are themselves auto-replies, since that gets you into an infinite loop which can fill up the sender’s mail file, your mail file, and/or the server’s disk. As a side effect, the server admin will show up at your cubicle with a bludgeon.

Since I am the server admin, I’d better avoid that at all costs! :slight_smile:

It looks like I will need to have the agent written from scratch to fulfill the user’s wishes. The ‘simple action’ is just not quite there yet.

thanks for the assistance.
