How it works
- Pick the reason you're away and the tone you want.
- Set your dates, and optionally who to contact instead.
- Copy the finished message into your email client's auto-reply settings.
FAQ
How do I actually turn this into my auto-reply?
Copy the generated text and paste it into your email client's "Automatic replies" or "Vacation responder" settings — this tool writes the message, not the auto-reply rule itself, since that setup differs by provider (Gmail, Outlook, etc.).
Should I include exact dates in a sick-leave message?
Not necessarily — for unplanned sick leave, many people leave the return date vague ("out of the office due to illness") rather than committing to a specific date. Edit the generated text if you'd rather not include one.
Is the contact person field required?
No — leave it blank and the message falls back to a generic "I'll respond when I'm back" line instead of redirecting to someone else.
Is any of this information sent anywhere?
No — the message is assembled locally in your browser from the fields you fill in. Nothing is uploaded.
