Paid No touch

Automatically route work when users are out of office.

Out of Office Assistant keeps work moving when teammates are away by automatically posting clear updates, routing ownership to backups, and replying when an OOO user is @mentioned.


Free 14-day trial • Setup in minutes • Rule-based

How it works (3 steps)

  1. Each user sets OOO dates and chooses a global backup person
  2. Admin selects the Owner (People) column and sets board behavior
  3. When the owner is OOO, the app posts updates, notifies the right people, and can route work to the backup


Key features

Per-user OOO + backup (global)

Users set start/end dates and pick a backup once—applies across boards in the account.

Board rules: Warn or Auto-reassign

Admins control behavior per board:

  • Warn: keep owner unchanged and post a clear update
  • Auto-reassign: move ownership to the backup to prevent blocked work


Safe behavior on private boards

If the backup isn’t a subscriber (no access), the app won’t break permissions— it posts an update and keeps the owner unchanged.


Custom update templates (placeholders)

Create messages using placeholders like:

{assigned_user}, {backup_user}, {ooo_end}


@Mention auto-reply (with rate limits)

When someone @mentions a user who is OOO, the app can auto-reply with the backup contact. Built-in rate limits prevent noisy repeated replies.


Conflict-free backup selection

Users who are currently out of office are excluded from backup choices to avoid routing to unavailable people.


Problems this solves

  • Work stuck with unavailable owners
  • Manual reassignment during leave and holidays
  • Unclear coverage and missed follow-ups
  • Repeated pings to teammates who are away


Ideal for

Support & Ops ticketing, project delivery, incident response, and any team that needs reliable backup ownership during absences.
