1. A system comprising:
a database system implemented using a server system, the database system configurable to cause:
processing a request to generate an out of office message configuration for a user who works for a first organization and works for a second organization;
obtaining, in association with the request, user-selected options including a user-selected subset of computing systems, the subset of computing systems including a first computing system associated with the first organization with which the user has a first user account and a second computing system associated with the second organization with which the user has a second user account, the second organization and the second user account being different from the first organization and the first user account, the first computing system limiting the user-selectable options to the first organization, each computing system of the subset of computing systems having a corresponding out of office function configured to transmit out of office messages according to corresponding out of office settings associated with the user account of the organization with which the computing system is associated;
obtaining, in association with the request, an indication of a start date, an indication of an end date, an out of office message, and an identification of user-selected recipients including one or more of: contacts of the user, or workers for an organization;
saving the out of office message configuration to identify the start date, end date, out of office message, and identification of user-selected recipients in association with the subset of computing systems and the user of the database system;
for each computing system of the subset of computing systems:
accessing a set of login credentials of the user account of the organization with which the computing system is associated; and
enabling an out of office message setting using the start date, end date, out of office message, and identification of user-selected recipients of the out of office message configuration such that the out of office function of the computing system is configured to transmit the out of office message, during a period from the start date to the end date, in response to receipt of a message addressed to the user.
