What's the difference between a tag and an auto-response?

Nothing but the trigger. Every tag can be called by name; give one triggers and it also answers by itself when a message matches. One list, one editor.

Can members make their own tags?

By default moderators and the roles you choose can. Switch to everyone and each member can own up to 15 (you pick the number). Owners change their own tags; moderators change or delete any.

Can a tag run commands or code?

No. Placeholders, random picks and simple if / else are all a tag can do, and what members type after the name is never read as a placeholder. Nobody can use a tag to get around a permission.

Will Dexy ping people or roles from a tag?

Not unless you allow it for that tag, and then only the members it names. Roles, @everyone and @here are never pinged.

What stops an auto-response from spamming?

One message gets one answer by default (up to 3 if you allow it). Each tag can have a cooldown per member, per channel or for the whole server, and you can keep auto-responses out of channels.

Can I move tags to another server?

Yes: tag export gives you a file of every tag, and tag import with that file loads them into another server.

Does it cost anything?

No. 1,000 tags, 30 of them answering by themselves, every look and every rule are free.

TagsLive, on by default

Write it once. Dexy says it every time.

Rules, the server address, how to get a role: saved replies anyone can call up by name, filled in for whoever asks. Give one a trigger and it answers by itself.

Try it

Type like a member, watch it answer

Four tags a real server keeps. Change what the member types: the placeholders fill in for it, and the last one answers a plain message by itself. Every placeholder

The tag, as written: Welcome {target}! Grab your roles in #roles and say hello.

Type like a member

Welcome @Orion! Grab your roles in #roles and say hello.

On the dashboard

Every tag, as it's called

The list reads like using them: the call in your server's prefix, what Dexy answers, how often. The editor shows the answer beside it as you write.

The tag editor: the name and other names, what it says, its triggers and rules, beside the answer's preview

Answering by itself

Questions answered before anyone types a command

Up to 5 triggers on a tag. Capitals never matter, bots and commands are never answered, and one message gets one answer unless you allow more. Triggers

Word: hi; answers “hi all”, not “this”
Contains: server ip; anywhere in the message
Starts with: how do i; the message starts with it
Is exactly: rules?; the whole message, nothing else
Pattern: ^!?rules?$; a regular expression, checked for safety

Rules

Each tag keeps its own manners

Set them in the editor, or with d!tag rule. When a rule stops someone who called a tag, Dexy says why; a tag answering by itself just stays quiet. Rules

Who: Only members with some roles, never members with others.
Where: Only in some channels or categories, never in others.
How often: A cooldown per member, per channel or for the whole server.
Where it answers: In the channel, as a reply, by DM, or in another channel.
Tidy up: Delete the member's call, delete the answer after a while.
Reactions: Up to 3 on the answer, or on the member's message. A tag can just react.
