I don't quite get the difference between Quick Responses and this Insta Reply beta:

Does this mean that the Insta Response will be sent automatically, when a person messages? If so, you really can only say "Hello", as anything else might sound stupid, depending on what the person actually wrote. 

It also would seem a bit dangerous, as it doesn't count as a reply for the Response Rate, depending on how it will look in the chat window, as you may wrongly think you already sent a reply to that message, when you peek at your chat window. But I guess, hope, that the notification and pink dot and everything won't be affected by that Insta Response, or will it... anyone tried it out already and can say more?

And will it be automatically sent to everyone, including existing customers? That would be weird, too.

 

And if not – where is the different to using Quick Responses...?

Well for me.. I don't see the purpose since it already says that you have to reply manually if you want to keep the response rate...

So the only situation when I would use an auto reply would be to thank the buyer for their order. But then I also have to reply again to do the same thing and not lower my response rate. Maybe I  am missing something or this is not for me. I am sure others will find some use for it.

It can actually be helpful to some sellers, like myself, because I need the buyer to provide me with information that they often do not have at first contact.

Most of my clients purchase two weeks after their initial contact, because I send them on a research mission. The conversion rate for this category of clients has been great.

Hopefully this will save me the trouble of having to engage in a lengthy conversation with each of my clients before the purchase. <(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)>

I like it for buyers that contact me while I am sleeping. I tell them what my active hours are on the platform and let them know that I will get back to them during those hours. I also tell them if they contacted me during my business hours, I will be with them shortly.

Today I got a message from a new buyer who had received the instant reply. However, the buyer wanted me to proofread academic work.

The seller can use QRs to respond to a buyer once they have read the message. The Inst Reply goes out automatically if any NEW potential buyer contacts you.

Yes, but only if a new person messages you.

This was suggested back in 2019:

but this version is a lot more basic than what was suggested in that thread.

It would be better if we could create template based auto-replies based on what text is in the buyer's message(s) (as well as what gig they selected if any).

eg. if the buyer says "can you do x" you could create an auto-reply saying whether or not you could do that.

That would be more useful, but it would also be more complicated for Fiverr to create.

Not much more complicated though. It could just have a list of strings you could that the buyer's message might contain+ what gig (if any was selected) and then what your reply would be for that. Or maybe if "this string" and "this string" are both contained in the buyer's message than give reply x.

proofread academic work

Proofreading, rewriting and editing academic work is not against policy I think; it's just a standard English editing practice.

When the client asks you to change the academic structure of the paper, such as by adding content that isn't present in the source material or changing the focus so much that it's no longer about the original topic, it can be problematic.

Yes, it is against Fiverr's TOS. I have asked CS about it more than once in the five years I have been a seller on Fiverr. They continue to tell me that even basic proofreading is not allowed. I can, however, proofread theses and dissertations.

Has anyone had experience with this function? I think it's a very helpful addition!

I would further refine the auto reply - according to different gigs (if possible).

That's a great initiative, I would like to use this freature for instant reply, when I am outside.  May you please guide me where I can get this tab? 

 

Thank You !

It is in beta for now, so you may not have it.

The function is very "beta". It doesn't work 80% of the time.

Guys,

Our Fiverr team add a new option called automatic reply when a buyer starts a new conversation.

if there is a option for set specific time for automatic reply it would be great for night time reply,

What do you think!

Why is it that some people have the "Instant reply" reply and some don't? 

This function is very important because it saves you from experiencing poor response rate, especially when you are asleep and get to reply once you wake up.

Hello Everyone!

I am really happy that I got the auto reply feature. 🥰 It will definitely benefit me a lot. It's in beta now so not everyone has it yet. So those who haven't got it, don't worry about it.

As @designer_rahmat mentioned, this is in beta mode, so only a select group of sellers have this option. Check your seller profile. If you don't see it on your profile page, you aren't part of the beta group:

I got this feature too! Since yesterday or the day before.

Its replies do not count as real responses. Look at the disclaimer at the bottom of its window!

I see no benefit in using it. I already have an elaborate system of quick responses.

I can easily shoot a personalized message that will count towards my response rate.

I'm with you @sunboatrecords!

I would love if this feature could be used as an Out-Of-Office tool that could count towards my response rate (and I could apply it to all messages and all customers).

As it stands now, there isn't really a benefit. It can set up false hope in a buyer who might think you are available when you are not.
