Tags covers the messages you would otherwise type again and again.

## Tags

A tag is a saved embed. Post one with `/tag name:rules`, or type the **Chat Prefix** and the name, such as `?rules`. Pick a `user` to mention them, or reply to a message with `?rules` to post the tag as a reply to it.

Each tag has a name, title, content, color and image. Tags marked **Staff Only** can only be posted by members with Manage Messages or **Tags ( Manage )**.

## Auto Responders

An auto responder answers messages that match its **Trigger**. **Match** decides how:

| Match              | Fires when the message                       |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| Whole Word         | Contains the trigger as a word.              |
| Contains           | Contains the trigger anywhere.               |
| Exact Message      | Is exactly the trigger.                      |
| Starts With        | Starts with the trigger.                     |
| Regular Expression | Matches the trigger as a regular expression. |

Each responder can reply with an embed, add a **Reaction**, delete the trigger message and stay limited to one channel. **Cooldown in Seconds** stops it firing again too soon in the same channel. Turn on **Ignore Members with Manage Messages** to skip staff.

## Timed Messages

A timed message posts an embed in a channel every **Interval in Minutes**. **Skip Unless Messages Since Last Post** skips a post until that many messages have been sent, so quiet channels are not filled with repeats. `0` always posts.

## Placeholders

Tag and responder text can use `%user%`, `%channel%` and `%server%`. Timed messages can use `%server%`.
