# Reply Material

Reply Material is the core content that gets sent when a keyword is triggered. It can be a simple message, an image, a document, or even a button-based interaction. Think of it as a reusable message template that you link to one or more keywords.

## How to create a Reply Material?&#x20;

* **Go to the Automation Section** \
  From the left-hand menu, click on **"Reply Material"**. This is where all your previously created reply messages are stored and managed.

* **Click on ‘+ Add New Reply’**\
  A pop-up or form will appear where you can begin creating your reply.

## Write the text message&#x20;

In the **“Text Message”** box, type the content you want to send to the user.

## Select the Media Type (Optional)

* Choose the type of media you'd like to include with the message:

  * 🖼️ **Image**
  * 🎥 **Video**
  * 🎧 **Audio**
  * 📄 **Document**
  * 💬 **Sticker**

  You can upload these media files from your system using the 'Upload New Media' dropdown.

## Click "Add Reply"

* Once all fields are filled and media is selected (if needed), click the **“Add Reply”** button at the bottom.
* Your Reply Material will be saved and visible in the list.

## Use it in Keyword Action

When setting up a Keyword Action, just select this reply material from the dropdown—no need to recreate it each time.
