How to Set Up Out of Office Auto-Response
Set up out-of-office auto-responses in Missive.
An out-of-office auto-response automatically replies to incoming emails when you're unavailable, letting senders know you'll respond later.
Missive offers a built-in personal auto-response feature that lets you set up automatic replies with flexible scheduling options. You can configure it to run during specific hours, on certain days, or indefinitely.
Set up auto-response in Missive
Missive provides two ways to set up out-of-office responses:
Option 1: Personal auto-response (recommended)
To configure your personal auto-response:
Click your avatar in the bottom-left corner.
Select Set a status.
Turn on Out of office.
Enable Auto-responder.
Choose which personal accounts or aliases should send the response.
Customize the subject and message.
Option 2: Using rules
For more advanced scheduling, create a personal rule for incoming emails:
Go to Settings > Rules
Create a new Incoming email rule
Add a Schedule condition to specify when the rule should run
Add a Reply action with your out-of-office message
This approach lets you set up recurring schedules (e.g., every weekend) or complex conditions.
