​@Kami,

You can set up an automatic Out of Office text reply right inside your RingCentral app.

How to Turn On Auto-Reply

1.Go to Settings:App menu.

In your RingCentral app, click Settings (the gear icon) and select Text.

2.Turn on Auto-Reply:Enable feature.

Toggle on Reply to all texts or Reply after hours, then click Manage.

3.Set dates and type your text:Customize message.

Check Set start time and end time to pick your dates, type your out-of-office message, and hit Save.

Important Limitations to Keep in Mind

• Individual Texts Only: Auto-replies only send for direct 1-on-1 texts, not group text threads.

• 10DLC / Carrier Registration: Your line must be fully registered for business SMS, or auto-replies won't go out.

• Toll-Free Restrictions: If your number is Toll-Free, mobile carriers often block automated text replies to prevent spam.

• Character Limits: Try to keep your reply under 160 characters so it sends as a single, clean text message.
