There are multiple ways to craft your out-of-office message, but there are a couple of standard best practices to follow that will ensure you don’t come back to angry or confused customers, coworkers, or vendors.
Keeping It Real. I am currently out of the office on vacation. I know I’m supposed to say that I’ll have limited access to email and won’t be able to respond until I return, but that’s not true.
.
On the Inside My Organization tab, type the response that you want to send to teammates or colleagues while you are out of the office.
And… it’s playing in the background as I write this email. Guess what? I’m on vacation! And I do love my occupation.
Otherwise, all hands will be back on deck upon my return on Thursday 5th September and I will reply to your email at the earliest convenience. The single biggest day of the year for calling in sick tends to fall during the festive period; more people were too ill to work on Monday 10 December than any other day last year. (Whosoff.com, 2019) December is the most popular month of the year for authorised absences, as many employees are using up their remaining holiday entitlement. (Whosoff.com, 2019)

The auto reply only allows you to choose between ‘No-one, Recents, Favourite, All Contacts’. I need it to reply to everyone. Is there a way of doing this?
This is so timely for me as I begin a 2 week vacation in 15 days (no I’m not counting days or anything). I have been agonizing over how much detail to share in my Out of office message as I will be completely unreachable during this time.
3.) Bem-vindo ao John Doe AG. Nossos escritórios em Berlim estão fechados no momento devido à um feriado. Você pode nos contatar, nos dias úteis, de segunda a sexta-feira das 9h ao meio-dia e das 13:00-18:00 horas. Para informações gerais, você também pode nos enviar um e-mail em [email protected]. Muito obrigado. Te desejamos um bom dia - sua John Doe AG.
I’m so glad not to have to work at [insert company] any more that I am literally high on life.
I’m a huge fan of the scheduling. I give myself up until 8am the day I return, since that way I’m covered if someone is emailing me early in the morning and will know why it might take me a bit to get back to them as I sort through the backlog for triage even though I’m back in the office that day.
Before you trade your office pass for a YouTrip card, you’d need to first power through your to-do list and prepare a super swee handover for your team. Then all is good, right? Not quite. You don’t have the right to exclaim “pang gang oh” and disconnect from work just yet 🙅
Once you’ve finally crossed off those last-minute items on your to-do list and are ready to check out of work mode for while, there’s just one last thing you need to do – set your out-of-office message.
I will be out of the office until *date*. My colleague *Name* will be happy to assist you.
Should the matter be important, please contact Jim Ross ([email protected]) in my absence. Kind regards.

Yeah this sort of chain is why we got an out of office address for each department. It went to the managers who were never all off at the same time.
