Setting Up Delayed Response

I am interested in setting up a system whereby a delayed response is sent out to messages received in an inbox. I have set up The Bat to work with my email account, composed the message, but I cannot figure out how to set it up to respond. Any help is appreciated.

As filter action set "Send automatic reply" and as template forthat action you set the message you created. __________________________________ I'm just a user of The Bat! I don't work for Ritlabs.

I see an option of "Accordingly to the account settings" and "Queue in the Outbox" but I don't see any place to set the duration of the delay.

For the correct syntax of that macro you can start the message editor and select: Options -> Send timing -> Custom Clicking on the 'more' button will give you the macro that corresponds with the dealy you're setting. __________________________________ I'm just a user of The Bat!
