# 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.
