Should we use auto reply feature?

[salmana7]

If we use auto reply feature will response rate count if we use this.
Also, will it is good if we are replying to buyer at first using bot?

Yes it is best way to reduce the response rate,

Auto-replies do not count towards response rate.

You still have to message the buyer within 24 hours.

Their use is for letting them know that you are not available and will get back to them within a certain time frame.

I am also thinking about this. But I'm using the auto reply and it's good.

It can be catastrophic to your status if you don't reply properly.

Other than that, it is convenient under certain circumstances.

Yes, be sure to remember to follow up on the auto-reply within 24 hours, or your stats will suffer.

Oh, Thanks to inform. 
I was thinking what should be in auto reply if client send message and auto reply doesn't make sense then there will be negative affect.
like
Client: Hi I have this requirement and are you able to do that?
Me: I'm not available I'll get back to you at this time frame

Don't you think it will create negative affect?

What if the time is different in sender side I think client not going to check time in your location

it not help you in increasing the response rate as it is also mentioned in many places even when you go fro creating auto-reply there it is also mentioned.

but you can ask for requirements and other details in auto reply it makes a good impression on the buyer that shows you are an active person.

sometimes i use this when i not using fiverr like i have to go anywhere

and when i am available i turn it off

thank you
