You send them an auto response, usually in the form of a message, to let them know that you are not available at the moment and that they should contact you later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some situations where auto-response can be useful include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>When you are driving<\/li><li>When you are busy in a meeting or work<\/li><li>When you are on a holiday<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-autoresponse-capability-on-android\">How to get auto-response capability on Android<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The Android platform doesn&rsquo;t have the built-in capability to auto-respond;
