Most users have a Gmail account as their main inbox. Whether for personal or professional matters. When it's time for the holidays, many people don't check their email during this time. This is fine, as this way you can disconnect. Although, you also want your contacts to know that you are not going to be available.
A good way to accomplish this is through autoresponders.. Thanks to them, when someone contacts you, you will inform them that you are on vacation. So they know that we are not available and that they will have to wait a while.
Automatic replies in Gmail help us save time. Since this way we do not have to inform personally or by means of a message to several people that we will not be available. We simply create this generated message, and thus, when someone contacts us, they will see that we will not be able to respond.
So they are a very useful tool. Also, creating automatic replies in Gmail is very easy. What do we have to do? We have to open Gmail first. Once we are inside we must click on the icon with the shape of a wheel in the upper right part. By doing this we get a list with various options. One of the options is configuration.
We access configuration and within it one of the sections is General. We go to this section, and look within it the option of auto answer. It will first ask us to activate the option. We do it and then it asks us to select the dates.
When we fill in this information, asks us to create the body and subject of the message. Here we write what we want, offering the information that we consider appropriate. The best thing is to say that we are not available on these dates and also offer a contact person in case they need to contact for work. We also have the possibility to send this message only to our contacts in Gmail or to all the people who write us a message.
Once the message is finished, you just have to click on save changes. In this way you have already created an automatic reply in Gmail. As you can see, it is a simple process and it will take you little time.
