Setting Up Out-of-Office Replies in Office 365 for out of hours

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi all,

 

Is there a way to automatically send out-of-office emails based on the out-of-office times set in Office? Can we schedule these emails for all staff or specific staff using Power Automate?

    Hi @AB21 ,

     

    The out-of-the-box action in Power Automate can only set your own auto reply.

    If you want to set up automatic replies to other people's emails, please check this api.

    Best Regards,

    Hi @v-xiaochen-msft 

    How can I set an out-of-office email for specific times and days? I need this to be automated every evening, rather than setting it up manually each day. Is this possible using both Power Automate and Graph API?

     

    Could you help with the power automate, even if it has to be done for each user separately

    Hi,

     

    I have looked at this which is good however it has the "Scheduled Demo" printed on each email. Is there no other way we can get everything automated.

    I was thinking something like this:

    So when an email arrives the out of office email is sent between the condition times however I know I will need to format the times but not sure how?

    Now the flow ScheduledOOF can toggle Automatic Replies (Out Of Office) on/off based on the user's "Work hours and location" settings.
