Auto reply to mail in wordpress

In WordPress, you can set up an auto-reply to emails using plugins or built-in functionality. Here are a few methods:

Method 1: Using the built-in "Contact Form 7" plugin

  1. Install and activate the "Contact Form 7" plugin.
  2. Create a new contact form or edit an existing one.
  3. In the form settings, go to the "Additional Settings" tab.
  4. In the "Auto-response" field, enter the auto-reply message you want to send.
  5. Save the changes.

Method 2: Using the "WP Mail SMTP" plugin

  1. Install and activate the "WP Mail SMTP" plugin.
  2. Go to the plugin settings and click on the "Auto-responders" tab.
  3. Click the "Add Auto-responder" button.
  4. Enter the auto-reply message and set the conditions for when you want the auto-reply to be sent (e.g., when the email is sent from a specific form).
  5. Save the changes.

Method 3: Using a third-party plugin

There are many other plugins available that offer auto-reply functionality, such as:

These plugins usually offer more advanced features and customization options.

Method 4: Using a code snippet

If you're comfortable with coding, you can use a code snippet to set up an auto-reply in WordPress. You can add the following code to your theme's functions.php file:

function auto_reply_email($email) {
    // Set the auto-reply message
    $message = 'Thank you for contacting us. We will respond to your email shortly.';

    // Set the email headers
    $headers = 'From: Your Name <[email protected]>'. "\r\n";
    $headers.= 'Reply-To: Your Name <[email protected]>'. "\r\n";
    $headers.= 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8'. "\r\n";

    // Send the auto-reply email
    wp_mail($email, 'Auto-Reply', $message, $headers);
}
add_action('wp_new_email', 'auto_reply_email');

This code will send an auto-reply email to every email that is sent to your WordPress site. You'll need to customize the code to fit your specific needs.

Remember to test your auto-reply setup to ensure it's working correctly and sending the desired message to your email recipients.
