Business autoreplies rules and a sample





Email automatic replies

The autoreply option for email is very often used, particularly in business messages. Proper Netiquette greatly encourages this practice. Some important message might go unanswered within a reasonable timeframe if this feature is not employed when the intended recipient will be unavailable for a day or longer.
The following are basic elements which should be included in all business autoreplies:

Time of absence/return
Alternate contacts
Emergency number
Whether other key personnel are also out
Assurances of a prompt reply upon one’s return

Superfluous information should not be included such as what the absence is or where the addressee will be. The following is a good sample of a good autoreply:
From:  Paul Babicki [paul@netiquetteiq.com]
Sent:    Wednesday, April 7, 2014 10:26 AM
To:      Serkan Gecmen
Subject:   Out of Office Autoreply: Tabula Rosa follow up

I am currently out of the office and I will be returning on April 10. Your email will be promptly returned when I return.
If your inquiry is regarding support, please contact the help desk at
help@netiquetteiq.comor 609.818-1802. 

If your matter is urgent and you require immediate attention, please contact
Laurie Houghton, laurie@netiquetteiq.com / 609 818-1802.  Laurie also has
the ability to contact me if necessary.

Thank You,
Paul Babicki

Certain words will add extra positive tone, receptivity and effect when they are used. Many of these transcend timing, location or type of email.
