Fun OOO Email Responses You Have to Try

Summer travel and time off is a necessity of summer!

Even if you don't have any trips currently planned, we encourage you to take some self-care out of office time this summer. Workplace burnout happens at every level and in every role. If you're an Emily In Paris fan, the quote, "Work to live, instead of live to work" may be exactly what you need to hear this summer.

While you're taking your much-needed time off, here are some automated responses you can leave on your email in place!

Option One

“Thanks for your email! I may or may not be currently sipping on a spritz someplace warm, but I will get back to you in {timeframe}”

Option Two

“Your email is received (sort of!) I’m currently either: (1) Avoiding a sunburn on the beach (2) napping (3) eating (4) unplugged (5) all the above. Please reach out to X in my absence and allow 3-5 business days upon my arrival back from vacation MM/DD, for a response from me. Thanks!”

Option Three

“Thanks for reaching out! I’m unplugged for a little OOO time, or as I like to call it OOMCO time (out of my couch office time), and will return on MM/DD. I should return all emails {x time} after that.”

Option Four

“Your email has been received! I’m currently soaking up the sun, but feel free to reach out to {x contact} if you need anything before I’m back on the {date}”
