Auto reply gmail

You're looking to set up an auto-reply in Gmail!

Gmail allows you to set up an auto-reply, also known as an out-of-office (OOF) message, to notify others that you're unavailable. Here's how to do it:

Method 1: Using Gmail's built-in auto-reply feature

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
3. Scroll down to the "General" tab.
4. Under "Vacation responder," click on the "Vacation responder on" button.
5. Enter your auto-reply message in the text box. You can use plain text or HTML.
6. Set the start and end dates for the auto-reply period.
7. Click "Save Changes."

Method 2: Using Gmail's canned responses

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Compose a new email and type your auto-reply message.
3. Click on the three vertical dots at the bottom of the compose window.
4. Select "Canned responses" and then "New canned response."
5. Name your response (e.g., "Out of Office").
6. Click "Save."
7. To send the auto-reply, go to the compose window and select the canned response from the dropdown menu.

Tips and Variations

• You can set up multiple auto-reply messages for different periods or occasions.
• You can also use Gmail's filters to auto-forward emails to another address while you're away.
• If you're using Gmail's IMAP or POP3 settings, you may need to set up an auto-reply on your email client instead.
• Some third-party plugins, like Boomerang or Sanebox, offer more advanced auto-reply features.

Remember to test your auto-reply message before you leave to ensure it's working correctly!
