Purpose
ScheduledOOF is a Power Automate flow that can toggle Automatic Replies (Out of Office) on and off based on the user's "Work hours and location" settings.
The flow checks your work hours settings every hour. During your office hours, the Automatic Replies are disabled, and when you are out of the office, the Automatic Replies are enabled.
Current version: 1.0.6
Installation

- Set the text of automatic replies to send inside your organization and optionally for external recipients (outside your organization):
