I want to configure automatic replies, like when someone type “hi” the app will automatically answer “what can I help you? Type: 1 - if you want to talk with the support 2 - if you want to ask for something” and then the person can choose just by the numbers.  
I don’t know if it is possible but if it is please help me to configure.

Hi @Breath_app welcome to the community.

That’s not possible natively within glide.

You may want to have a look at something like this.

There are more I’m sure, just have a hunt around.

You might be able to embed a 3rd party chatbot within a webview component.  
Not something I’ve ever done (or even considered), but it could be worth exploring.

Here’s a good one to start, Mark.

You can check out Botstar to see if it’s worth your while. I’m using this for a number of use cases (in-app support mostly). Hope this helps a few Gliders!

Also you can try Landbot, but this looks better.
