[IDEA]: Add responses to DM

[JTD420]

Currently I have bastion bot setup so that it forwards any direct messages that it recieves to myself via dm.

What I have found is that I am often then having to copy and paste the users info to reply to their messages.

It would be nice if bot owners could

A) add some autoresponses so if someone DMs bastion bot with an exact or similar phrase then it will reply to that person with a preconfigured response to that message.

B) have it so if I (as bot owner) reply directly the the forwarded message that I get from bastion then it forwards my message back directly to the person who last sent the bot a msg so the response actually comes back from Bastion bot and will make more sense to the recipient. Hope this all made sense!

Thanks :)

That’s sounds pretty cool actually, how’d you do that?

@frostylosty My post is a feature suggestion unfortunately (one that I do hope gets added however!)

You can set Bastion Bot up so that it forwards any DMs it receives to yourself but you must be the bot owner in order to configure this. (Self-host the bot for example)

To set it up type !relayDirectMessages You can find more about it in the documentation or by doing !help relayDirectMessages

For now it's still a bit of a pain replying to messages recieved especially if you have an active server so I hope this gets considered as I've heard a few members so far telling me they liked the idea!!

Anyway hope I helped :)
