We’ve created a ready-to-use Out-of-Office – Holiday Break template to help you quickly set up automatic replies while you’re away.

Follow the steps below to activate it.

Note: You will need admin access to do this.


Step 1 — Open Your Workspace

  1. Go to Workspaces

  2. Open the workspace you want to use


Step 2 — Find the Holiday Template

  1. Go to Templates

  2. Look for “Out of Office – Holiday Break”

You can edit the template if you’d like to personalize the message or dates.


Step 3 — Create a New Rule

  1. Go to Rules

  2. Click Add New Rule

  3. Give the rule a name, for example:
    Holidays 2025

  4. Set the condition:

    • From anyone equals true

  5. Set the action:

    • Send email

    • Select the template: Out of Office – Holiday Break

  6. Click Add Rule


Step 4 — Move the Rule to the Top

Drag the new rule to the top of your rules list.
This ensures the out-of-office reply runs before any other rules.


Step 5 — Make Sure Snoooz Is Running

To confirm Snoooz is active:

  1. Go to Users

  2. Check if Snoooz is running for your mailbox

  3. If not, click Manage Snoooz and enable it


That’s It! 🎉

Your out-of-office reply is now live and will automatically respond using the holiday template.

Happy holidays from the Snoooz team! 🎄
