How to Use Auto Reply to an Initial Outbound

Auto Reply sends a Recommended Reply to Initial Inbounds matching a keyword. This feature will help Texters and Administrators work through Program frequent responses based on script design. 

Keywords can use only a single word (i.e., STOP2QUIT or WRONG), and only the exact spelling of the keyword will trigger keywords - (spelling sensitive, case insensitive, no punctuation allowed, no emoji.) Admins cannot add keywords that are part of the global auto opt-out keywords, such as STOP.
