Overview

This recipe is transparent about changing Gmail vacation-responder settings, but it can enable broad automatic replies with a hardcoded message and no actual date range.

Review this before installing or running it. Edit the auto-reply subject/body, confirm the Gmail account, set real start and end dates if supported by the gws command, and choose whether replies should be limited to contacts or domain users before enabling it.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The skill changes Gmail account state by enabling an auto-responder and can send automatic replies to external recipients because both restrictToContacts and restrictToDomain are set to false. Without an explicit warning, confirmation step, or safer defaults, a user may unintentionally broadcast absence information and alternate contact details to anyone who emails them.
