Programming GAM for auto-reply emails after business hours

[Victor Valdez]

Hello, 

   We run an interpreting agency and I would like to have auto-reply on a certain email 'in...@riseinterpreting.com' in our case. Where it will auto-respond during a specified time range, for example 5pm to 7 am we would like to send a auto-response from G-Suite that the request was received and will be processed on the next business day.

The built-in feature for that is called Out of Office AutoReply:

So, if there is a way to set an OOO-reply via GAM, then you could schedule it to be enabled at the end of the day, and then disable it every morning.

You can set out of office through GAM - https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM/wiki/ExamplesEmailSettings#enablingdisabling-and-setting-a-vacation-away-message

I think if you can run as scheduled tasks daily something like these below:

Run this at 4:59pm      gam user em...@domain.com vacation on subject "We are closed" message "Thanks for contacting us, we are open from 7am to 5pm"

Run this at 6.59am      gam user em...@domain.com vacation off

It works in my head at least and I know we've recently set loads of OOO responses using GAM

[Victor Valdez]

Thank you all for your responses, I am now seeing 'OOO responses using GAM' may be the way to go... so I went ahead and successfully set-up GAM for our GSUITE. 

Now I am at the point of whats next? I am now at the Google API user interface... what exactly is OOO?

It's called "vacation" in the API.
