The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Write my Outlook out-of-office messages and a handover email. Dates away: [DATES_AWAY]. My role: [ROLE]. Who covers what and their contact details: [COVER_DETAILS]. What is urgent and what can wait: [URGENCY_RULES]. Write two automatic replies, one internal and one external, each under 80 words, friendly and brief, saying when I will be back without private details such as holiday locations, giving the right contact for urgent matters, and noting the message is automatic; the internal one can include more detail, such as colleagues' names, than the external one. Write a handover email to my cover listing open items with status, deadlines, key contacts, where files are, and the decisions they may make alone and those they must refer back. Explain how to set the automatic replies with the date range and the internal and external options [VERIFY steps]. Add checklists for the day before leave and the day of return, including turning off the automatic reply on return.
