Send Automated Replies in Signal

AutoResponder for Signal doesn’t require you to log in to your Signal account. Instead, it uses notification access to detect incoming Signal messages. Once you install the app, you should grant notification access permission for the app to work as intended.

  1. Download and install AutoResponder for Signal from Play Store. As soon as you open it, the app will urge you to grant notification access permission. Tap on ‘Get Started’ button and switch the toggle for ‘AutoResponder for SGNL’ on the notification access page.

  2. Tap on the ‘+’ floating action button from the home page to create a new rule. Here, you can configure what the received message should be and the response for that message. While the free version offers exact match and similarity match for messages, you can get advanced features including pattern matching, expert pattern matching, and even a welcome message with the pro subscription.

  3. After choosing both received and reply messages, you can now choose if the rule should get activated just for individuals, groups, or both. You can also configure it to work with specific contacts and ignore some contacts. Tap on the checkmark FAB to save the rule.

  4. I’ve configured the app to respond with ‘Hello’ when someone sends ‘Hi’ and ‘Test 2’ when a Signal user sends me ‘hello’. As you can see below, the app works as intended and has automatically responded to the message. You can long-press and disable the app’s notification if you don’t want to see the log of your chats in the notification shade. More on disabling spam notifications in our linked guide.
