# Set up an auto-reply

An auto-reply sends a ready-made reply to anyone who emails the address, for example while you’re off. You set it up in webmail or in DirectAdmin.

## Faster: let an AI app do it

If you’ve connected Inleed to an AI app, just write what you want done, for example:

> Set an auto-reply on info@example.se saying I’m away

Done. The auto-reply is on for info@example.se.

## How to set up the auto-reply

### A. In webmail

For your own address. You can choose when the reply starts and ends.

1. Log in to [webmail](https://mail.inleed.com/), click **Settings** and choose **Out of Office**.

2. Enter a subject under **Subject** and your message under **Body**.

3. Fill in **Start time** and **End time**, if the reply should only apply for a certain time.

4. Set **Status** to **On**.

5. Click **Save**.

### B. In DirectAdmin

When you’re setting up auto-replies for several addresses.

1. Log in to [DirectAdmin](https://inleed.com/helpcenter/log-in-to-directadmin) and open **E-mail Manager › Autoresponders**.

2. Click **Create Autoresponder**.

3. Choose the address and enter the message.

4. Click **Create**.

## How to know it worked

Anyone who emails the address gets your reply automatically.

## Good to know

- DirectAdmin also has **Vacation Messages** under **E-mail Manager**. There you choose the start and end of the auto-reply.
- Turn off the auto-reply when you’re back, unless you chose an end date.
