Provide a subject title for the email in the “Subject” box and then type a message in the “Message” box. Once the date range is set, you’ll need to set the message you want to send automatically. Otherwise, Gmail will continue to send out of office messages until you disable it manually.

You’ll need to enable the “Last Day” checkbox if you want to enable an end date. You can set the date range that you’ll be “out of office” or “on vacation” and away from your emails in the “First Day” and “Last Day” date boxes.

Out-of-office messages work by automatically replying to emails you receive, alerting them to the fact that you are unavailable to respond.
