Hello Andreagiuliani,

Good day to you and hope you are doing well.

Based on your post, seems you wants to set up Automatic replies from Outlook desktop app for your email account and based on it sharing details.

There are two ways to send automatic out-of-office replies. The way you use depends on the type of email account you have.

With direct Automatic Replies option.

• Open Outlook > select File > Automatic Replies > in the Automatic Replies box, select Send automatic replies.
• Now set a date range for your automatic replies. This will turn off automatic replies at the date and time you enter for the end time. Otherwise, you'll need to turn off automatic replies manually at specific time.

Screenshot for reference : (you need to select your time range)

• 

Article for your reference Send automatic out of office replies from Outlook (microsoft.com).

If you are not able to view direct Automatic Replies option, you need to set up rule for the same. For this, kindly check steps provided in Use rules to create an out of office message (microsoft.com). We highly appreciate your co-operation.

Thank you so much for your precious time. Stay safe, happy and healthy forever.

Hello Andreagiuliani,

Good day to you. For this, you need to manually turn on Automatic Reply option from your Outlook at the specific time. It isn’t feasible to set up this process fully automatic because there is no such option available in Outlook. For this feature, if you have any concern, you can submit your feedback to Outlook product development team as this is related with outlook feature. For this, from the outlook > go to help tab > select suggest a feature. At this point, your kind understanding and co-operation will be highly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your precious time. Stay safe and healthy.
