Discord auto responder bot for repeat questions
The bot watches for words and sentences you choose, and answers with the text you wrote.
This is how it looks in Discord
Answer the questions your members keep asking, the moment they ask them.
Triggers in 30 seconds
What it does in your server, shown in Discord. With captions in five languages, and every scene also written out as text.

Each step describes the picture first, then quotes what the voice says.
White words on black, with “For the hundredth time.” in teal. Behind them, faded chat messages pile up faster and faster, members asking “when is the stream?” and “where are the rules?” over and over.
“When is the stream? Where are the rules? For the hundredth time.”
Teal light opens from the centre. The ZombyIO logo, a round badge with a zombie face in a headset, appears at the top. The zombie mascot springs up holding a speech bubble with a lightning bolt, and “Triggers” appears.
“Meet ZombyIO Triggers.”
The Triggers page of the dashboard. Phrase labels pop in: “when is the stream”, “stream time”, “when do you go live”. The answer types itself: “Streams are every Tuesday and Friday at 8pm.”
“Pick the words, write the answer.”
Headline: “Someone asks. The bot answers.” In #general on Night Owls, Mia writes “when is the stream??” and ZombyIO replies to her at once: “Streams are every Tuesday and Friday at 8pm.”
“The bot replies the moment someone asks.”
The setting “Wait before answering again” drops in and “5 min” is picked. Kai asks “when is the stream” again; instead of a second reply, a badge with a countdown ring says “Waiting, no answer”.
“A wait time keeps it from repeating itself.”
Headline: “Every spelling, one phrase.” Messages in capitals, with accents and with a hidden character each turn into “when is the stream” and get a tick. A tester below reads “‘Stream times’ answers this.”
“Capitals, accents and hidden characters all land on the same phrase.”
A large “Free.” with “Ten triggers on every server, each watching for up to 25 phrases.” Labels: “No regular expressions”, “Reply, message or DM”, “A wait time per trigger”.
“Free, with ten triggers.”
End card: the ZombyIO logo, a green zombie face in a blue headset, above “ZombyIO” and “Run your Discord server without the busywork.” A white button reads “zomby.io”, with “Free for every server” below.
“ZombyIO. Add it free at zomby.io.”
How it works
Reads like a person would: capital letters, accents and hidden characters all land on the same phrase.
A waiting time stops one common word from turning the channel into the bot repeating itself.
The dashboard tester runs the same matcher your server does, so what it shows is what happens.
Set it up in three steps
Add ZombyIO to your server
Click “Add to Discord”, choose the server and confirm. Quick Start opens straight afterwards and asks what the server is for.
Add to DiscordOpen Triggers in the dashboard
Your server list, then Triggers: two clicks. Or press Ctrl K anywhere in the dashboard and type the name.
Set it up and save
Click “Add a trigger”, enter the wordings under “What to watch for” and your reply under “Answer text”, then switch triggers on. “Try a message” shows which trigger would answer.
What is free, and what Premium adds
Premium costs €6 a month per server and is shared by every admin of that server. It raises limits, it does not unlock the feature.

Questions about Triggers
Is Triggers free?
Yes. Triggers works on the free plan, which is not a trial and does not expire. Premium costs €6 a month per server and only raises the limits in the table above.
Can one trigger cover several ways of asking the same question?
Yes. A trigger holds up to 25 phrases and any one of them fires the same answer, so “when is the stream” and “wann ist der stream” can share one reply.
Does a short word like “help” also fire inside “helpful”?
Not with “As a whole word”, the rule a new trigger starts with. Only “Anywhere in the message” matches inside longer words; the other rules are “At the start of the message” and “The whole message, exactly”. Regular expressions are not supported.
