Hey there, I am Christos, in case you are not an existing user of our free Gmail extension Recurring Out-of-office, you can find the back-story of our product at the end of this comment. This is the 2nd version of the app which includes major updates, making it much more flexible and able to handle many scenarios. What's new: - It is now possible to schedule multiple periods per day which makes it super flexible - It is now possible to customize the title of the auto-reply email. - Redesigned UI able to facilitate the new features Back-story: A while back, I ran into this annoying issue with Gmail—setting up a recurring Out of Office (OOO) auto-reply just wasn’t an option. Gmail only lets you set OOO replies for a continuous stretch of time, which is a pain if, like some folks, you're out of the office every Friday. It meant having to reset the auto-reply every single week. Frustrating, right? Being part of a small dev agency, I figured, “Why not solve this ourselves?” So, we put our heads together and whipped up a simple Gmail extension to handle it—initially just for our own use. It worked like a charm! And then we thought, why not share it with others who might be dealing with the same hassle? That’s why we decided to make it available to everyone, and yep, it’s free and this is how Recurring Out Of Office came to be. Looking forward to your comments. Cheers
