How to Add an Automatic Vacation Response to a Gmail Account

Adding an automatic vacation response to your Gmail account is a great way to let people know that you won't be able to respond to their emails immediately. Here's how to do it:

1. Log in to your Gmail account.

2. Click on the gear icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen, and select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.

3. Click on the "General" tab.

4. Scroll down to the "Vacation responder" section.

5. Click the button next to "Vacation responder on" to enable the feature.

6. Enter the dates for which you'll be away in the "First day" and "Last day" fields.

7. Enter the subject line and message you want to use for your automatic response.

8. If you want to send the response to people who email you more than once, check the box next to "Only send a response to people who haven't contacted me in a while."

9. If you want to only send the response to people in your contacts list, check the box next to "Only send a response to people in my Contacts."

10. Click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page.

That's it! Your automatic vacation response is now set up and will be sent out to anyone who emails you while you're away. Make sure to test it out by sending yourself an email to ensure it's working as expected.
