Introduction

There is no reason to write the same email each time when you can simply set up standard answers in Gmail. If you send the same text to the same or even different people, consider using the auto reply feature to send these messages automatically.

The way it works is by setting up a rule in Gmail so that when certain conditions are met (such as when a specific person sends you an email), a message of your choice is automatically sent back to that address; they are called boxed answers.

Set up Canned Responses in Gmail

1. Log in to Gmail via your Internet browser.
