thanks for the help, thats exactly what I was looking for. Sorry for not searching, very new to this forum thing.

Yea, I could just ask visitors to manually copy the link onto their away message, but I wanted something simple for them to click on and it automatically does it.

ok in my scenario, I would like to add a link on my webpage so that if you click it, your away message would change to be something like “go visit blahblahblah”
