Use an autoreply if you'd like to automatically send your users a message when they email your support mailbox.
Keeping will only send one auto reply per 24 hours per customer. So if your customer emails you 5 times in one 24 hour period, they will only receive one autoreply.
Receipt Confirmations are set on a per mailbox basis, so if you have multiple mailboxes you'll need to set and enable the receipt confirmation for each mailbox.
Navigate to the settings page for your mailbox by clicking the "pencil" icon next to your mailbox name.
On your mailbox settings page, scroll to the bottom click the checkbox next to "Enable Automatic Replies", and then enter the message you want to send to your customer.
At this time you cannot include images or attachments in a receipt confirmation message.
Templates and Auto Replies support the Liquid templating language. You can use Liquid's bracket notation to insert these variables into your templates.

{{customer.first_name}} = The first name of your customer, if known
{{customer.last_name}}= The last name of your customer, if known
{{customer.full_name}} = The first and last name of your customer, if known
{{customer.email_address}} = The email address of your customer
{{mailbox.email_address}} = The email address of the current mailbox
{{mailbox.name}} = The name of the current mailbox, as you've defined it in Keeping
{{ticket.id}} = The 10 digit ID of the newly created ticket, for example eq7am42cxs
When a value might be absent, you can assign default values to variables using this format: {{customer.first_name | default: "Customer"}}
IIt's strongly advised to set default values for customer.first_name, customer.last_name, and customer.full_name, as these details might be missing when a customer emails your shared mailbox.
