Introduction to Automatic Replies in Outlook Online
When you're on vacation or away from the office for an extended period, it's essential to inform your colleagues about your absence.

Configuring Automatic Replies
To set up automatic replies in Outlook Online, follow these steps: 1. Click on **Settings** located at the top right of your screen. 2. In the settings window, select **Mail**. 3. Choose **Automatic Replies** and enable the feature. This will allow Outlook to send automatic responses to your colleagues during your absence. -
Setting a Time Interval
You can specify a time interval during which automatic replies will be sent. This feature also allows you to block your calendar for the duration of your absence. To do this: - Provide a title that informs your colleagues about the nature of your absence, which will be added to your calendar automatically. - You can also choose to automatically decline any meeting requests that come in during this period. -
Managing Calendar Events
While configuring your automatic replies, you have the option to: - Decline or cancel meetings that are already scheduled during your absence. - View all events planned in your calendar during this time. You can choose to send your out-of-office message as a cancellation for these meetings or set a specific message for canceling your appointments. -
Composing Your Out-of-Office Message
Next, you will need to compose the text of your out-of-office message. Use the available formatting tools to enhance your message. Make sure to include important information such as: - Your return date. - Alternative contacts for urgent matters. -
Customizing Messages for External Contacts
You can also send a different out-of-office message to external contacts. Choose whether to send this message to: - Only external contacts in your contact list. - All external senders who contact you. This ensures that everyone receives appropriate communication regarding your absence. -
Finalizing Your Settings
Once you have configured your out-of-office message and settings, click on **Save** to confirm. Remember that automatic replies will be disabled at the end of the specified period. -
Conclusion
Setting up automatic replies in Outlook Online is a straightforward process that helps maintain communication while you are away. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure that your colleagues are informed of your absence and know how to reach out for urgent matters.
