Sometimes you're on vacation, or just out of the office for a certain amount of time. Drift allows you to set yourself Out of Office with a simple click of a button.  This will prevent any bots from booking a meeting for you when you're away.

The Out of Office feature is available on all customers on the Premium, Advanced, and Enterprise plans.

To mark yourself out of office, go to Settings > App Settings > Meetings and click the Mark out of office button.

From here, use the dropdown to select if you are going to be away indefinitely or select Date and time to be able to set the date and time you will be out of office until.

Once you've made your selections, make sure to click Save to keep your settings.

If you select the indefinitely option, you can use the Mark as available button to disable your out of office status and mark yourself as available.

Note: If you want to be able to book meetings outside of your set Out of Office hours or if you use the Salesforce Routing Rule to route site visitors to their Salesforce owner, we recommend not using the Out of Office features and instead mark your calendar as "busy". This allows meetings to still be booked via the fallback feature with the correct sales rep or account owner while they are out of office.
