Ever enjoyed being on a vacation only for it to be ruined by work emails and messages? A new feature on Gmail and Hangouts can prevent that from happening.
Work Emails
Receiving work emails is particularly irksome when on a vacation. On the flip side, there are also many who send important emails to a coworker only to receive a notification afterward that he or she was actually not available to begin with. Either way, the situation is annoying for the recipient and counterproductive for the sender.
Now, Google is rolling out a new feature on G Suite that will benefit both the present and absent worker.
G Suite Gmail And Hangouts
G Suite users will soon be notified when they are trying to email someone who is evidently on leave. When they do, a small, yellow banner will hover above the send button, informing the sender that the recipient is away and when they will return. Similarly, the same message will pop up in Hangouts if someone tries to message a person who is out on leave.
