Again, this will depend HUGELY on what sort of role it is (an external-facing vendor, for example, should probably not use something like this). But for many internal requests, it is not power-tripping to ask someone to either redirect their email or wait until a later date to send it.
If you receive a high volume of customer service texts, you may want an auto-response in place that acknowledges a customer query has been received.
