- brandnewlow 15y agoJust investigated! It's very limited. You can really only do one-line responses. I want to respond with an e-mail with pricing info, a media kit attached etc etc. Still looking.
- sorbus 15y agoSo what you want is, in essence, a service which you can set up a filter to direct messages to (possibly safer than letting it interact with your account directly?), which then responds to each email it receives with a message that you previously generated, possibly including attachments. Gmail's vacation responder does all of that except attachments, but you could use the rich formatting of signatures to include links to your media kits.
- brandnewlow 15y agoSounds like I can't just have it respond to specific e-mail addresses though. I'm telling ya. There's a fun service in there.
- sorbus 15y agoYou can set up an email account specifically for the responses, and have messages forwarded to it by a filter. That's extremely hacky, though, and yeah, there's certainly a service there.
- zacharycohn 15y agoYou can do that in the filter. Copy/paste your list of email addresses into the "From" field in the filter config, then tell it to send the canned response. You can't attach things with them, but if you upload them you can just hotlink straight to it. Slightly more elegant than having it forward to a new email account and have that autorespond to things.
- dfabulich 15y agoCanned Responses will let you write arbitrarily long responses. It won't let you do attachments. (But are those really necessary for a spam response? Just send a link.)
