Gmail canned response setup

Gmail canned response setup - If you need to send similar email responses out to a number of people, consider using a Google Lab feature called "Canned Responses." This feature allows you to save an email as a canned response and use it over and over again without needing to copy and paste into a new window.

Steps 01: Enable Canned Responses

1. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of your Gmail.
   
2. Go to "Settings."
   
3. Click on the "Labs" tab.
   
4. Go to "Search for a lab," and type Canned Responses in the search bar.
   
5. Press the button for "Enable."
   
6. Press "Save Changes."
    

Steps 02: Create a Canned Response

1. Click on "Compose." This button is near the top of the left-hand bar in your Gmail window.
   
2. Create a response. To do this, either write the email you want to have as a canned response or copy and paste from a previous thread.
   
3. Under the Subject heading of the email, click "Canned responses" in blue text.
   
4. Click "New canned response." It will be under the "Save" heading in the drop-down menu.
   
5. Name your response. Call it something that will help you remember when to use your canned response, such as "email invitation" or "thank you for coming."
