Out of Office Assistant – Smart Ownership & Backup Management

Out of Office Assistant helps teams manage work seamlessly when people are unavailable by automatically handling ownership, routing work to backups, and keeping everyone informed.

It’s designed for teams that want uninterrupted workflows during vacations, holidays, or planned absences.

What you get with Out of Office Assistant

  • Per-user out-of-office settings
  • Each user can define their out-of-office dates and select a backup person.
  • Automatic backup handling
  • When a user is out, new work is handled based on your rules — no manual reassignment needed.
  • Board-level rules
  • Admins control how items behave when the owner is out of office:
  • Keep the item with the owner and add a warning update
  • Automatically reassign the item to the backup user
  • Clear updates for teams
  • Automatically post messages using supported placeholders such as:
  • {assigned_user}, {backup_user}, {ooo_end}
  • Conflict-free configuration
  • Users who are currently out of office are automatically excluded from backup selection.

Problems this app solves

  • Work getting stuck with unavailable owners
  • Manual reassignment during leave or holidays
  • Lack of visibility into who is covering work
  • Missed follow-ups due to unclear ownership

Benefits for your team

  • Faster handovers during absences
  • Clear accountability at all times
  • Less manual work for admins
  • Consistent behavior across boards

Example use cases

  • Support or operations teams managing planned leave
  • Teams with rotating or backup ownership models
  • Organizations that want rule-based, automatic reassignment

AI usage
