Create a canned response in Gmail – a computer

by New York Computer Help on January 13, 2009

If you receive too many e-mails for you to keep up with, you can now create a canned or set response to reply with.

Here’s you set it up:

  1. Click “Settings” link by Gmail at the top-right.
  2. Click the “Labs” tab.
  3. Click “Enable” next to the “Canned Responses.”
  4. Click “Save Changes.”

To create a canned response for later use:

  1. Compose an e-mail and make sure not to provide a “To” or subject.
  2. Click the “Canned responses” link under the subject. You’ll see a pop-up menu.
  3. Click “New canned response” under “Save.

That’s it.  You don’t have to be a tech guru to set it up, and it looks like you’re on top of your e-mails when you respond quickly with canned responses.
