4. Choose "Reply with a template" as the action.
5. Select the template you want to use (or create a new one).
6. Set the conditions for when you want the auto-reply to be sent (e.g., when the email is from a specific sender or contains specific keywords).
7. Click "Finish" to save the quick step.

Method 2: Using the "Rules" feature

1. Open Outlook and go to the "Home" tab in the ribbon.
2. Click on the "Rules" button in the "Move" group.

Tips and Variations

• You can also set up auto-responders to send a reply to a specific email address or group of addresses.
• If you want to send a reply to multiple emails at once, you can use the "Reply to All" feature and then use the AutoMail feature to send a standardized response.
• You can also use third-party add-ins, such as Sanebox or Boomerang, to automate your email responses.
