Slack auto-responses
Today we’ve shipped auto-responses for Slack – allowing you to set better expectations on response times with customers you support through Slack.
We’ve also made tons of improvements to Slack discussions, check them out in our "New" section below.
Previously, auto-responses were only available for threads created through email or via API. To set up Slack auto-responses, head to your workspace settings → auto-responses and create a new one. You can decide if you want to send different auto-responses based on the channel the thread is sourced from, and add conditions to let you decide who receives what message. More detailed instructions are available in our docs.
