Idea for a feature: Vacation mode/time away
Hey all!
So, we all know about the automations. It's great to be able to set up business hours and auto-replies that trigger in or out of those hours..but what happens if I have a family emergency, want to go on vacation, are short staffed, or have any other need to put up a unique message for a unique range date? As is, if this happens, I then have to go into the settings, adjust my business hours, delete my old messages, make new messages, go on vacation, come back, go back to settings, and readjust it all back to the way it was?
Well, I for one believe that to be a bit tedious (and unnecessarily so).
Why not integrate a vacation/time away mode where you can select a date and time for your departure and arrival back home? Then you could set up an automated message that occurs during this time period- and this message would temporarily override any of the normal automated messages while vacation mode is active.
As an example, let's say your work hours are monday-friday, 9am-5pm. Something happens Wednesday and you need to shut down shop until Monday. So, you select vacation mode, set dates for Wednesday-Monday, and have it say something like "we are out of office until Monday".
Thoughts?
