A trigger phrase, a response, and optional filters for where and who it applies to.

Creating a reply

1

Set the trigger

The text that fires the reply.
2

Choose text, embed, or both

A rule can carry either or both.
3

Write the response

Plain text, or build an embed.
4

Filter it (optional)

Restrict to specific channels or roles.
Trigger matching is case-sensitive. hello does not fire on Hello. Add both as separate rules, or pick a trigger whose casing members will actually type.
A rule matches the whole message by default. With the default equals match type, a trigger of hello fires only on a message that is exactly hello — not on hello there. Switch the rule’s match type to includes to match the trigger anywhere inside a message.This is the most common reason a trigger “never fires”.
A rule can carry both text responses and embeds — they are not mutually exclusive, and adding one does not discard the other.
If the trigger or the response is empty, saving does nothing at all — no error, no confirmation. Fill in both.

​
Random responses

Give one trigger several possible responses and Vetox picks one at random each time.
This switch shows as on when you open a new rule but is off until you save. Save the rule once to lock in whichever state you want.

​
Auto-delete

Removes the bot’s reply a few seconds after posting. Useful for a rule that fires often and would otherwise clutter the channel.
There are two independent delays, each settable from 0 to 300 seconds: how long to wait before deleting the member’s triggering message, and how long before deleting Vetox’s reply.

​
Filters

Four lists, applied in this order:
  • Enabled channels — if set, the rule fires only in these
  • Disabled channels — the rule never fires in these
  • Enabled roles — if set, only members holding one of these trigger it
  • Disabled roles — members holding one of these never trigger it
A reply can also be delivered by DM to the member instead of posting in the channel.
Clearing a filter list completely does not always take effect. If you want a rule to apply everywhere again, delete it and recreate it rather than emptying the list.

​
After a downgrade

Rules over your tier’s limit are disabled, not deleted, and come back when you upgrade.
A disabled row has no Manage button, so it cannot be edited while it is over the limit. Delete a different rule to bring yourself under the cap first.

​
Troubleshooting

Check the exact casing, that the rule is enabled, that the channel is not excluded by the filter, and that Vetox can read and send messages in that channel.
A blank trigger or a blank response causes a silent no-op. Both are required.
A server that has accumulated more than 500 auto-replies hits a document-level cap on delete, and every delete then fails. Max and Black are advertised as unlimited and are unlimited in practice for creating rules; 500 is the point at which deletion breaks. Contact support if you reach it.
That is the default. A rule matches the whole message unless you switch its match type to includes, which matches anywhere inside a message.
The rule is set to match includes, so the trigger is found anywhere in the message — hi fires on this. Use a longer phrase, or switch the rule back to exact matching.

Auto-Interaction

React or reply to every message in a channel, without a trigger.
