# Automation

> Respond to keywords with automatic messages and reactions.

Automation is useful for small, deterministic moments: answering a common
question, adding a reaction to a recurring phrase, or pointing members to a
channel. Configure it in a controlled channel and review rules before adding
overlapping triggers.

## Auto-responders

| Command                 | Use it to                 |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------- |
| `/autoresponder create` | Add an automatic response |
| `/autoresponder remove` | Remove a response         |
| `/autoresponder list`   | List configured responses |

## Auto-reactions

| Command             | Use it to                 |
| ------------------- | ------------------------- |
| `,autoreact create` | Add an automatic reaction |
| `,autoreact remove` | Remove a reaction         |
| `,autoreact list`   | List configured reactions |

<Tip>
  Prefer precise trigger phrases over short common words. Before adding a rule,
  check the current list so two responses do not compete for the same message.
  Autoresponder setup asks whether Hedwig should delete its response after 10
  seconds; choose that intentionally for high-traffic channels. Autoreact
  supports up to 25 rules, and each keyword can be up to 50 characters.
