Try this out with your colleagues or share it with colleagues/clients headed off on a vacation to send them off in style:
.
1.) Bienvenido/a a John Doe. Nuestras líneas de teléfono no están disponibles durante períodos de vacaciones. Puede encontrar nuestro horario de oficina en nuestra página web www.joendoe.de. Gracias por su confianza. Le deseamos a usted y a su familia unas felices fiestas y un próspero año nuevo.

If you set up a vacation reply but people say they are not getting the reply, it could be one of the following:
I work in a role where someone else has to cover when I’m out, so most things do get taken care of. I have never been in a position where I could delete all emails without ruffling some serious feathers, so while I appreciate the motivation, it’s a completely foreign option to me.
This is the standard reply I’m my org. Occasionally there is something about not being able to check emails while away (or being able to) but that’s about it.
I once emailed someone I barely knew to check on some materials he was supposed to send my boss and I received an auto-reply letting the world know that he was away in Vegas with his “boyz” to celebrate his divorce. I still don’t know why he felt this was important to share with business contacts. “I’m away for the week” was all the information I needed.
Bon voyage! You’re going on your holidays and you’re completely leaving the office behind. This is the perfect auto-response if you won’t be checking your emails the entire trip.
If your email client allows it, you could always just use an image to express your out-office sentiment, like this one. After all, they say that a picture is worth a thousand words — and visual content is still essential to successful marketing.
3.) Herzlich willkommen bei der Mustermann AG. Unsere Büros in Berlin sind heute wegen einem Feiertag geschlossen. Sie erreichen uns an Werktagen jeweils von Montag bis Freitag von 9 bis 12 und von 13 bis 18 Uhr. Für allgemeine Anfragen können Sie uns auch eine E-Mail an [email protected] senden. Besten Dank. Wir wünschen Ihnen einen schönen Tag – ihre Mustermann AG.
Here is a good example of setting a queue message when all your support agents are busy.
I find it rude, as well. If someone is emailing you (the royal you), it’s because they need something. Saying you’re just going to delete it without also giving that person a Plan B contact is totally rude. It sucks having to go through emails, it does. But it’s part of the job. In my role, I get requests from internal colleagues and from external partners. Even though I provide those partners with an alternate email to send their requests, it’s still my responsibility to make sure that the requests that were sent to me in my absence were handled. Saying “everything I’m sent will be deleted” just Would Not Fly in my industry.
2. Vacation Auto-Reply Email Giving Alternative Contact Person. [Your Greeting] I will be out of the office from ____ until ____. For immediate assistance please contact
My boss had this problem (outdated message), but it wasn’t his fault. No matter how many times he changed it, it kept reverting to the original message and dates. Even IT couldn’t figure it out.
“Hello, I am out of the office from [date] to [date] for a family vacation. I have limited access to phone and will try to reply to you upon my return. If you need any urgent information, please contact [person] at [phone number]. Happy holidays!”
