Hi there, 

Is there a way to set up a zap to reply to inbound Gmail messages with an automated after hours email message? 

Using scheduler or gmail app, I want to set up my gmail account to reply to any emails after a certain time of day with an “out of office / office hours” message. 

What would be the best way to go about doing this?

Hi @MichaelCE 

You can use Zap Filters/Paths to check the Timestamp on an email and ignore or respond.

You can use Schedule and Zapier Manager to turn a Zap ON/OFF.
