Auto-Responder with Gmail



When you are in vacation and you dont have mood or time or access to internet to check your incoming emails in your gmail account then just let people know you won't be able to get back to them right away. Use gmail auto-responding service to auto-respond them with your pre-written message.

You can set up a vacation response in your Gmail account that will automatically reply to anyone who emails you. When you make the vacation responder enable, Gmail will send a response to anyone who contacts you
( Except spam messages and messages from the authrity you've subscribed). If that person contacts you again after four days and your vacation responder is still enabled, Gmail will send another vacation response to remind the person that you're away from your email till that moment.

Here's how to let people know you can't respond right away:

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click 'Settings' along the top of any Gmail page.
  3. From the 'General' tab, select 'Vacation responder on' in the 'Vacation responder:' section.
  4. Enter the subject and body of your message in the 'Subject:' and 'Message:' fields.
    • If you've enabled a personalized signature in your account, Gmail will automatically append it to the bottom of your vacation response.
  5. Check the box next to 'Only send a response to people in my Contacts' if you don't want everyone who emails you to know that you're away from your mail.
  6. Click 'Save Changes.

While the vacation responder is enabled, you'll see a banner across the top of your Gmail account, displaying the subject of your vacation response. To stop Gmail from automatically sending the response, click 'end now' within the banner. Or, if you'd like to edit the response, click 'vacation settings.
You can edit your vacation gmai auto-responder message and it will be reflected instantly to anyone for new incoming messages.
