Good Afternoon,
I could use some help setting about 350 vacation messages. We sold part of our company and will be transitioning those users. We want to set up a vacation message that just say hello this is user1 and I now work for abc. You can now reach me at us...@abc.com
I have a csv file to pull the user, set the forward, turn on the vacation reminder and I can set the message in the vacation reminder but I am having trouble getting the variables into the vacation message. Is that even possible?
I have tried different variations of this -
gam csv bjooo.csv gam user ~primaryEmail vacation on subject "New Email Address" file ooo.txt message replace "name" ~name replace "forward" ~forward html enddate 2025-12-31
gam csv bjooo.csv gam user ~primaryEmail vacation on subject "New Email Address" file ooo.txt message replace "name" ~name replace "forward" ~forward html enddate 2025-12-31
In my ooo.txt file is this -
"Hello my name is {RT}name{/RT} and I now work for abc. You can now reach me at {RT}forward{/RT}"
"Hello my name is {RT}name{/RT} and I now work for abc. You can now reach me at {RT}forward{/RT}"

Larry,
Try this:
gam csv bjooo.csv gam user ~primaryEmail vacation on subject "New Email Address" file ooo.txt replace "name" ~name replace "forward" ~forward html enddate 2025-12-31
In my ooo.txt file is this -
"Hello my name is {name} and I now work for abc. You can now reach me at {forward}"

Ross, is there a trick to using an txt vacation file stored in Drive for this purpose? I need help figuring out the syntax.

Seth,
gam csv bjooo.csv gam user ~primaryEmail vacation on subject "New Email Address" file ooo.txt replace "name" ~name replace "forward" ~forward html enddate 2025-12-31
Replace file ooo.txt with: gdoc ow...@domain.com <DriveFileId>
Replace ow...@domain.com with the actual file owner email address
Replace <DriveFileID> with the actual fileid

Ahh.
I was trying to follow the model of modifying signature files:
gam user <user> vacation on subject "Out of School" file <file owner> id <fileID> html
In this example, where is the "forward" value coming from?

Vacation and signature are the same; you with specify a local file or a Google Drive document
file|htmlfile <FileName> [charset <Charset>]
gdoc|ghtml <UserGoogleDoc>
<UserGoogleDoc> ::=
<EmailAddress> <DriveFileIDEntity>|<DriveFileNameEntity>|(<SharedDriveEntity> <SharedDriveFileNameEntity>)
I don't understand this question: In this example, where is the "forward" value coming from?

Will the replace command work in the subject line of a vacation response? I'm having trouble with this command:
gam csv gsheet admin@domain id <file-ID of CSV> departuretest gam user ~user vacation on subject "Email to {first} {last}" ghtml admin@domain <fileID of template> replace first field:name.familyname replace last field:name.familyname replace departuredate ~departuredate replace cover_name ~cover_name replace cover_email ~cover_email
Here is my template:
Here is my template:
Thank you for your email. {first} {last} is no longer with Demo Academy as of {departuredate} and unfortunately can no longer answer your email. Please direct your inquiries to {cover_name} at {cover_email} who will be happy to assist you. <br><br>Please note that your email will not be forwarded automatically.
My first and last name tags are not working, so the issue is probably my syntax... can someone spot my error?
