100 Useful Out-of-Office Automatic Replies for Bulakenyo Professionals

I have been working for a multinational IT company for almost two decades. I am writing this piece to share some thoughts on being professional, even in direct email responses. Working with highly motivated professionals globally, we need to keep up and raise our standard as Filipino IT. It is imperative and highly encouraged to set up an out-of-office automatic response whenever you are on a break or much-needed time off. Please tell your customers and colleagues about your time off.

A professional out-of-office message (OOO message) is an email that goes out automatically and immediately to anyone who emails you while you are out of the office for a designated period. It notifies your contacts that you are away, so they expect a response once you return. Your OOO message provides essential information to your clients, coworkers, and bosses.

Your out-of-office email message is helpful to your business contacts and helps you enjoy your time away from work. When people know you are away, they are less likely to send you multiple emails on the same subject so that you can return to work with a less cluttered inbox. When you provide contact information for someone filling in for you while you’re out, coworkers can follow up with that person, reducing the backlog of tasks when you return.

It may seem simple, but if your out-of-office message needs to be clarified or completed, it could cause problems while you are out and when you return. I have listed 100 commonly used Out-of-office templates for your reference. Please copy, modify, and paste them freely into your email application.
