How Send Out-of-Office Replies works

5 steps, in order, on every run.

  1. Check the Client EmailRead the new message and its thread. Check the recipient's absence dates and skip automated or already answered email.
  2. Draft the Out-of-Office ReplyUse your coverage instructions to draft a reply with the return date or alternate contact. Flag requests that meet your urgency rules.
  3. Get Approval in Team ChatPost the draft in your private approval chat. Wait for an authorized colleague to approve or revise the exact wording.
  4. Send the Approved ReplyRecheck the email thread for another answer. Send only the approved text in that thread when the client still needs a reply.
  5. Alert the Covering ColleagueMessage the covering colleague about urgent requests. Confirm the reply's send status in the approval chat.
