Automatic Outlook Email Auto reply for Absence
To use this solution, your company needs to connect Outlook auto reply to your BitaBIZ account.
Once the solution is activated, you will have access to enable your email auto reply when you create an absence registration in BitaBIZ.
When you activate your email auto reply for an absence registration, BitaBIZ automatically activates your email auto reply when the absence period starts and deactivates it when the period ends.
💁 Please note that the integration does not change other settings in the Outlook auto reply. Therefore, you must select whether the auto reply should be sent to people outside your organization in Outlook.
A standard email auto reply has been created that you can use when Outlook auto reply is connected to your BitaBIZ account.
However, you can also create your own standard auto reply. Follow the instructions below.
