Auto Response with template

more options

Hello,

I am looking to automatically reply to someone's email with a pre-fabricated response when the person emails me. Are there any extensions or methods of doing this?

It is similar to a vacation/away message but it will only go to 1-2 specific people.

Thanks!

Ahh that's what it was. I originally didn't see the "reply with template" option but now I do. I had to create an initial template for it to work.

Create a template message, then create a filter like the one in the attached picture.

Note this will only work when TB is running. Otherwise, see if you can create a similar filter through the webmail access for the account, which will work even when TB is not open.
