MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / October 2007Automatic response to emails based on words in subject or body
I would like to respond automatically to people who request files and can't automate the process. I'm sure it's simple, and I'm missing something. Example: I receive an email that requests info on a project. If it contains keywords 'send me' 'Dallas installation' and 'progress report' I would like it to respond with a template that includes an attachment. i.e. one rule would send the progress report on Dallas, another on Flagstaff installation etc. The key is that in each it would formulate a response based on matching words, and respond and automatically and attach the correct file based on words in the message. Possible or am I dreaming? Thank you, Erin The rules wizard is what you need to use for this, but the details depend on your Outlook version and whether you're mailing with an Exchange account.

(still uncertain) I'm familiar with the rules wizard. However each time I try to do it it won't allow me (or I don't know how) to select an attachment or reply. There is the run a command line, but all options are blank. It may be relevant that we are not using an internal mail server. Thanks, I appreciate the response. -Erin > The rules wizard is what you need to use for this, but the details depend on your Outlook version and whether you're mailing with an Exchange account. > >I would like to respond automatically to people who request files and can't [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > > > Thank you, Erin To use the reply rule, you need to create the reply message first, saving it as an .oft file.
