How to Send Automatic Emails in Outlook Using Outlook Rules

Setting up automatic emails in Outlook can be a great way to save time and stay on top of important communications. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up automatic emails in Outlook.

1. Start by creating a new email message to set up your automatic emails in Outlook. This will be the template for the email that you want to send automatically.

2. Once you’ve created your email template, save it as a draft in your Outlook inbox. You can do this by clicking “File”> “Save.” The email should then be in your Draft folder.

3. Now that you have your email template saved as a draft, you can set up a rule in Outlook to automatically send this email at a specific time or under certain conditions. Go to the “File” tab> Select “Manage Rules & Alerts.”
