You're referring to "out of office" email!
An out-of-office (OOF) email is a message that an employee or individual sends to their contacts when they will be unavailable for a period of time, such as when they're on vacation, sick leave, or out of the office for an extended period.
The purpose of an OOF email is to:
- Inform contacts that you won't be available to respond to emails or phone calls during your absence.
- Provide an estimated return date or a contact person who can assist with urgent matters.
- Set expectations and avoid unnecessary follow-ups or messages.
A typical OOF email might include the following information:
- A brief greeting and explanation of your unavailability
- The dates of your absence
- A contact person or department that can assist with urgent matters
- A note about the expected response time upon your return
Here's an example of an OOF email:
Subject: Out of Office - Unavailable from [Date] to [Date]
Dear [Recipient],
