If you centre-align that it resembles a Christmas tree, and I coloured the font accordingly :D
Tested to/from 2 iPhones (1 personal/1 work phone) and neither of them receive the designated Auto Reply Text. What am I doing wrong?
I will surely respond to your email when Iâm back in the office. But, if this requires an immediate response, please resend any messages that require my immediate attention with a subject line of âURGENT: [Original Subject]â.
Seems like a big task, right? WellâŚwrong. You donât need to stop by everyone in the officeâs desks (if youâre even working in an office these days!) or send out an email to each and every client or lead. The easiest way to do this is by simply changing your voicemail greeting and adding an out-of-office email responder to your email client.
We have people who do this whenever they are teleworking, regardless of the circumstances. Teleworking is working and by putting OOMâs on, you are signaling that perhaps you are NOT, in fact, working. Stop it!
The information in your after hours greeting should remain concise and essential to the caller's needs. Example: Thank you for calling Cutlas IT Solutions. Our office is currently closed. Regular store hours are 9 am to 7 pm, Monday through Saturday. Please leave a voicemail with your name and phone number for our staff after the beep. 6.
I only set my out of office if Iâm going to be gone for more than one full day. Like, right now I donât bother if Iâm going to be out for one day, because in general the people who email me either know Iâm out for a day or are unfazed by waiting 24 hours for a response. The last time I went out of office for a week, I came back to about 65 emails, 9 of which would have actually required my attention when I weeded through them. If I got a higher email volume, Iâd do for a single day though.
Let us go through the step by step instructions to set out of office messages on iPhone, iCloud email to auto-reply your clients on your next vacation.
When was today? Did you leave the sign up or is it freshly posted? Etc. People, use dates!
We have one key administrative assistant who works part time and I always forget â I appreciate that she sets an OOO every day because her department is very deadline driven and it helps me to remember that if I need something from them, I need to connect with her in the morning. We also have some staff who work the school year calendar and others who are year round; the OOO is so helpful in the summers!

Over Twitter DMs, one woman sent me her OOO messages from when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The messages â composed while she was undergoing chemotherapy treatments and recovering from surgery â were detailed and unique. They offered touches of humor, honesty, details about her treatment schedules and set expectations for others trying to reach her. She offered alternative contact options for potential emailers to make sure urgent requests didnât fall through the cracks but offered a dose or reality as well. I particularly appreciated this line:
I do find the above quite amusing, but it would never fly at my place of work! lol!
We sent a message from the Android phone to the iPhone number that has already been set in vacation settings. And finally, we received an auto-reply text from iPhone to the Android phone.
