This handy tool allows you to automatically respond to your messages and mentions even when you're not available. Follow the steps below to set it up and save yourself some time!

To access Auto Responder, head to your Settings > Account Settings.

Once you're in your account settings, find the Auto Responder feature and toggle it on. This will allow you to get started!

Next, choose a start date for your Auto Responder. This is the date you'd like the feature to begin automatically responding to your messages and mentions. Simply click on the date field and choose a date and time. You can schedule auto responder by choosing a date in the future.

Just like with the start date, choose an end date for your Auto Responder. Once this date and time passes, it will stop automatically responding.

Optionally, write a warning notice to be displayed before a member mentions or messages you. This helps manage expectations and lets them know why you may not be responding right away.

This warning will be shown in direct message threads and when someone @ mentions you in thread posts, comments, and chat channels.

Optionally, write a custom message that will be automatically sent to anyone who direct messages you. This is a great way to let people know you're not available at the moment or to provide some helpful information in the meantime.

When you're ready, click Save Changes and your Auto Responder will begin on the start date you selected.

Don't want to use the Auto Responder anymore? Simply toggle it off in your account settings. This will turn it off until you're ready to use it again.
