autoreplies
Programmed email responses
Autoreplies is the plural of autoreply—an automated message sent in response to incoming emails or texts.
Out-of-office notifications are the most common type: Her autoreply said she'd be back Monday.
Autoreplies can also acknowledge receipt of customer inquiries or confirm online purchases.
