# Out of office auto-reply in Lusha Engage

When a contact's out-of-office auto-reply is detected, Lusha Engage automatically pauses that contact in the sequence. This prevents your emails from landing while they're away. You can resume the sequence once they're back.

## How to find paused contacts

## View by sequence

1. Go to the [Engage dashboard](https://dashboard.lusha.com/engage). Sequences with paused contacts show an orange clock icon.
2. Click the sequence with the orange clock icon.
3. Go to the **Contacts** tab.
4. Under the **Paused** filter, select **Auto-replied**.
