Auto response rule in Salesforce

An auto-response rule is a set of conditions for sending automatic email responses to lead or case submissions based on the attributes of the submitted record. Applicable leads include those captured through a Web-to-Lead form. Applicable cases include those submitted through a:

• Self-Service portal

• Web-to-Case form
• Email-to-Case message
• On-Demand Email-to-Case message
