How to Create Keyword Autoresponders
Keyword autoresponders allow you to automatically respond or trigger a call based on incoming messages with keywords you can define.
For example a lead texts the keyword home1. Callingly can then automatically respond with a personalized message about the property with a link to view the property. Keyword autoresponders are for inbound messages only.
Tip: Automated SMS can be personalized with the lead's information, custom fields, and your company information. See
