Auto send email outlook
Outlook provides several ways to automate sending emails. Here are a few methods:
Method 1: Using Outlook's built-in rules
- Open Outlook and go to the "Home" tab in the ribbon.
- Click on the "Rules" button in the "Move" group.
- Click on "Manage Rules & Alerts" and then "New Rule".
- Select "Start from a blank rule" and then "Apply rule on messages I receive".
- Specify the conditions for the rule, such as the sender, subject, or keywords.
- In the "Actions" tab, select "Move to folder" and choose the folder where you want to send the email.
- Click "OK" to save the rule.
Method 2: Using VBA macros
- Open Outlook and go to the "Developer" tab in the ribbon.
- Click on the "Visual Basic" button to open the Visual Basic Editor.
- In the Editor, create a new module by clicking "Insert" > "Module".
