This article explains how to set up an out of office message in Gmail using a web browser or the app. An autoresponder automatically sends a reply to anyone who emails you, letting them know that you're away and how often you check your email (if you do).

You can set up an out-of-office message to say anything you want, including who you should contact while you're away. Follow these steps to create an automatic out-of-office message in a web browser:

Select the Settings gear in the top right corner of Gmail.

Select Show all settings.
