So, because I want you to be able to enjoy your time off, I’ve put together these two email templates to help you make it abundantly clear that you’re not around for the next 24 hours.
Please accept our apology for the inconvenience this may cause. We are thankful for your understanding.

You can configure automated reply messages to encourage customers to submit their queries.

At my old job, you used to nominate a contact for when you were out of the office and there wasn’t an obvious person to contact.

I’m out of town. I’m looking forward to connecting with you when I return. If you’re getting this note, it means that I’ve received your email. (Thank you!) I’ll respond to your note as soon as I can. In the meantime, here’s a list of five questions that I get asked often. I’ve included brief answers to each one below. Take a peek.

Talk to you soon!
