Google Labs has come out with yet another new feature in GMail called Canned Responses. As reported in the Official Google Blog, you can now save a reply as a canned response, and can choose this response as a reply to the future e-mails you will be getting.

So, here is how to create Canned Responses,

  • Click on Settings on upper right hand corner of your account page.
  • Select Labs tab and scroll down to Canned Responses and select Enable.
  • canned response

  • The next time you reply to a message, look for Canned response option in blue in your email
  • To map the Canned Response you just created to the auto reply feature, go to Gmail settings and select Filters and then select Create New Filter.
  • new filter

  • You will now see an option to “Send a Canned response”. Here is where you can select an individual reply to a specific sender.
  • canned reponse filter

Note that you can also create filters to reply based on keywords instead of senders name.
