# Subtab: Autoresponder

## General information

“Autoresponder” allows you to configure the auto-message sending in response to a new end-user conversation. In other words, this function is useful in the case of an auto-greeting of end-user (without the efforts of operators) and to provide him to additional information: operating time, about the soonest connection with operators, about the need to provide additional information for processing the conversation, etc.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.blinger.io/documentation/settings/autoresponder.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
