This article explains how to set up automatic replies in Gmail. The feature works by setting up a filter so that when certain conditions are met (such as when a specific person emails you), a message of your choosing is automatically sent back to that address.
- First of all, login to your Gmail account from your desktop web browser.
- Now click on the Settings gear, and click on ‘See all settings’
- Now on the Settings page, click on the Advanced tab.
- On the Advanced page, scroll down and enable the ‘Templates’ option.
- Next, scroll down and click on the ‘Save Changes’ button.
- Now move to the Gmail home page, and click on ‘Compose.’
- Now compose the template you want to use for automatic replies. Once done, click on the three dots.
- Click on the Templates > Save draft as template > Save as New template option.
- Next pop-up, enter a new template name, and click on the ‘Save’ button.
- Now click on the Search option arrow in the search box.
- Now you need to define the criteria for the automated reply filter. The criteria could be a name, email address or any particular word, etc. Once done, click on the ‘Create filter’ option.
- On the next page, check the ‘Send Template’ option and select your newly created template.
- Once done, click on the ‘Create Filter’ option.
