This is a plugin for the Poezio XMPP client. As of writing, it still works with Facebook chat, although Facebook has deprecated this feature and announced that it would drop support on 2015-04-30. I recommend running it in screen on a server somewhere.

  1. Get Poezio:
    1. git clone git://git.poez.io/poezio
    2. cd poezio
    3. ./update.sh
  2. Save the above file to poezio/plugins as autoresponder.py
  3. Configure it for Facebook chat by editing ~/.config/poezio/poezio.cfg
    1. jid = yourusername@chat.facebook.com
    2. password = yourpassword
    3. server = chat.facebook.com
    4. plugins_autoload = autoresponder
  4. Start Poezio: ./launch.sh

If you get pyvenv' executable not found. Check that you have python (>= 3.4) installed, and that $POEZIO_VENV_COMMAND points to a valid virtualenv command.,
then try: apt-get install python3-venv.
