If someone adds [email protected] to his Google Hangout contacts and sends it a Google+ Hangout Chat message, I want to set up an automatic reply to his chat from my server. Is there a way to do that??

I think Its possible using the Google+ Hangouts API but I cannot figure out how.

(mydomain.com uses Google Apps for Business)
