How this tool works
The generator combines your dates, chosen tone, and optional alternate contact into a short plain-text message. It intentionally avoids inventing availability, response times, or contact details. Review names, dates, privacy, and escalation instructions before enabling the reply.
Frequently asked questions
Is this tool email-gated?
No. Generate, copy, or download the message without entering an email address.
Should I include an alternate contact?
Include one only with their agreement and provide the minimum contact information needed.
What dates should I enter?
Use the first date you are unavailable and the date you return to work.
Can I use the message in Slack or Teams?
Yes. The plain-text output can be adapted for email, chat status, or a shared team channel.
