Web form autoresponder - a quick way to build a professional relationship with your customers

A customer who fills your contact form expects a fast answer. But what happens when you are on vacation, or out of the office for the rest of the day? The easiest way to notify that customer that you are missing is to send him a message and tell him that you will answer when you're back. But how to do that automatically, because you're not there to send that email. The answer is simple: use an autoresponder.

An autoresponder is an automatic reply that will include a message from you, such as: "I'm not at the office right now, I will get back to you tomorrow morning". Some people also include phone details so that urgent messages can still reach them.

Email form autoresponder script

Some servers allow you to install autoresponder scripts. But they require a certain degree of technical knowledge. If you also have a self-designed email form, you can search and add an autoresponder script (search for some freebies that will do the trick). However, you have to know PHP at least at basic level. A simpler solution would be to use our web forms. Using 123ContactForm you can create web forms with autoresponder without having any technical knowledge at all. Furthermore, you can make a different autoresponder for every occasion: out of the office autoresponder, on vacation autoresponder, etc.
