Woodpecker recognizes most replies sent by autoresponders (it is still learning to understand “Out of office” in Chinese). When a message is marked as being an auto-response, your prospect's status changes to Autoreplied.

You'll find this prospect in the To Check tab in the category AUTOREPLY. You are given an option to set the date when the prospect should be contacted again.

How to set the date for a new email?

1. Open your campaign.

2. Click the tab To Check.

3. Navigate to the category AUTOREPLY.

4. Click Resume on date...

Smart autoreplies

Smart Autoreplies automatically set up the earliest possible follow-up date after Woodpecker detects an out-of-office message.

By activating this feature, you won't have to manually set follow-ups for prospects from whom you have received an automatic response. Woodpecker will pick the date based on the reply from your prospects, and if it doesn't suit your needs, you can always change it in the campaign view.

To turn it on, head to the Company settings tab in your account's settings and click on the Smart automations subtab. Click on the toggle switch next to the "Smart autoreplies" and wait until it changes its color from grey.
