I worked with a guy years ago who would update his voicemail greeting literally every time he left the office.
Thank you for your e-mail. I will be on leave on 26th Jan with no access to email. I will revert to you on my return on 27th Jan.

I, for one, tend to forget to set my automated out-of-office (OOO) email responder and scramble to do it before the plane takes off š Itās important to inform your customers and business associates (and remind your colleagues!) that youāre away, especially if theyāre expecting a prompt response.
Auto-reply email sample: Hi [first_name], Thanks so much for reaching out! This auto-reply is just to let you knowā¦ We received your email and will get back to you with a (human) response as soon as possible. During [business_hours] thatās usually within a couple of hours. Evenings and weekends may take us a little bit longer.
I have a colleague who usually does different ones for internal and external: internal will be āIām currently in the pouring rain in a tent in the Cotswolds. I get back (hopefully without trenchfoot!) on Monday Date. Whilst Iām getting soggy please contact Email Address.ā and external is just āIām on annual leave between X and Y and will not be accessing my email. Please contact Email Address if you need assistance during this time.ā We all really like their internal ones.

11) Thank you for your email. Your credit card has been charged $5.99 for the first ten words and $1.99 for each additional word in your message.
And describing their boss as elusiveā¦.taken in context with the rest of the messageā¦seems a bit of an attempt to say, āI run this ship solo so good luck with getting them to āhelpā, lolā
I have been out the office working from home for more than a year now. After a few weeks of remotely checking VM (and sometimes forgetting for days) I simply changed my phone setting so you cannot leave a message. I have not regretted since. On very few occasions people have clicked 0 and gone to reception. Reception can IM me and ill call or email the person back if I want or they can give them my email. Everyone else either emails me or if they already have it call my cell. Internal people never call my phone they use IM or video chat. No one internally has had an issue with this and this eliminates the whole hey call me back to spend 30 minutes talking about something that I could have answered in 2 minutes in an email.
When one of my colleagues went on vacation, he sent an out-of-office message that was both clever and smart. First, he sent the recipient on an imaginary scavenger hunt to "the highest peak of the tallest mountain." He used humorous absurdity to make it clear that he would not be checking email while he was away.
I think the OOO you wrote in about is hysterically funny. I also think it would be out of place in a lot of offices (the board of directors that oversee my org would emphatically not think the message was funny).
A Day in the Life of an Autoresponder. Digital marketing guru Ann Handley has become legendary for her humorous out of office responses. Getting an auto-reply is by definition impersonal, but Ann turns a cold response into a friendly conversation through some clever personification, while also promoting the event sheās attending.
Chatbots are now among the most preferred communication channels between customers and brands. However, not many businesses get their chatbot strategy...
Under āGeneral,ā scroll down to the āVacation responderā section. Fill in your message and subject line and select the dates youād like it to appear, then select āVacation responder onā and then āSave Changesā to finish.
Iāve done this a couple times: on the 3rd sick day when itās all I can do to just set an OOO, and Iām tired of updating the dates and feel like Iām never going to get better.
Figured it out: only works when set in driving mode, and driving mode works if you are actually driving or not š Until then, this will work until they come up with a better solution. Thank you!!
There are a few more auto-reply text on iPhone in different modes. This includes the Automessage while driving and iPhone auto-reply for incoming calls that you can set. Let us see how to set up these auto texts on iPhone.
