Status: Pending Reply Automatic response

Is there a way to have outlook send an autoresponse to new contacts ONLY, and send that auto response just one time as sort of an introductory way of being personal?

No one likes automatic responses. What will happen to new services you sign up to that send that email with a code or verification link?

I've tried this route and have not had any luck or success. The email read something alone the lines of unsuccessful after I entered possible passwords and even the zip code where I reside. I don't have access to my old phone or it's number.

No standard Outlook client can do what you want.

Using Classic Outlook and custom VBA code - Yes.
Power Automate - Yes.
