New: Outside Office Hours Auto Responders Keep You Covered (Even When You're Off the Clock) 🕒

You don’t have to be “always on” to look like you are.
With Apptoto’s new "Outside Office Hours Auto Responder," you can automatically reply to incoming texts and emails from clients outside of your business hours (without lifting a finger).
No more late-night texts sitting unanswered. No more feeling like you're leaving your clients hanging.
Now, when someone contacts you after hours, they’ll get a timely, courteous reply letting them know you’ve received their message and will follow up during your regular business hours.
What This Means for You
✅ Stay responsive, even when you’re not available
✅ Protect your personal time without dropping the ball
✅ Reinforce your professionalism and communication standards
How to Set It Up
To start, configure your Office Hours under "Messaging" > "Office Hours"
Set your available days and times (e.g., Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM)*
Turn on your Auto Responders:
Toggle “Enable SMS Auto Responder” and/or “Enable Email Auto Responder” on.
Customize the message to match your brand voice (defaults are provided). 
Save and you're done!
Optional: You can use "Special Office Hour Dates" to set different availability for specific days or date ranges (e.g., holidays, vacation, or seasonal hours)
From now on, Apptoto will handle those off-hours messages like a pro.
Check out our "Outside Office Hours Auto Responder" for more details on how to set this up, or combine this with your Incoming Message Handling Rules for even more advanced workflows.
