Out-of-office message generator

Generate a clear, professional out-of-office message (automatic email reply) with your return dates and a backup contact, in English or French.

Example:

How it works

Setting up an automatic reply the day before leaving on vacation, under pressure, often leads to sloppy or overly terse messages. Enter your dates, the reason for your absence and a backup contact, choose a formal or casual tone, and get a clear message to paste straight into your email's automatic reply settings.

Should I always include a backup contact?

It isn't required, but it's strongly recommended in a professional context: it keeps urgent requests from going unanswered for your whole absence and reassures the sender that their message won't simply be ignored.

Can I generate the message in another language?

Yes, the tool offers a French version in addition to English, which is useful if you work with international contacts. Remember to set up both versions in your email client if your correspondents write in both languages.

Your dates, name and contact details are never sent to a server: the message is written entirely in your browser.
