Schedule a message

Approve the draft now, send it when the other person will actually read it.

By the Synced team · Updated

In short

To schedule a message in Synced, open the draft, tap the clock button, pick a quick option like Tomorrow 9 AM or set a date and time, and tap Schedule. The send time has to be at least a minute away. Scheduled messages show under the Scheduled filter in Messages, where you can edit or cancel them before they send.

Schedule a draft in the iOS app

  1. 1
    Open the draft

    Open a draft card in Decide, or start a new email from Assign with Or write an email yourself.

  2. 2
    Tap the clock button

    It sits at the top of the draft, next to the three-dot menu. The Schedule send screen opens.

  3. 3
    Pick a time

    Tap a QUICK PICK option (In 1 hour, This evening, Tomorrow 9 AM, Monday 9 AM) or set Date and Time yourself.

  4. 4
    Check the preview line

    It spells out when the message goes, like "Sends Tue, Sep 16 · 9:00 AM".

  5. 5
    Tap Schedule

    The message joins the conversation marked Scheduled with its date and time under the bubble.

Change or cancel a scheduled message

  • Open the conversation and tap the scheduled bubble to edit the text, recipients, or time. Tap Save to keep it scheduled with your changes.
  • In that same editor, tap Unschedule and confirm to cancel it.
  • To see everything queued, open Messages, tap the filter name at the top, and choose Scheduled. Swipe a conversation there to cancel all of its scheduled sends.

If that didn't work

  • Schedule won't tap and the preview says Pick a time at least a minute from now: move the time later.
  • No clock button: scheduling is offered on drafts ready to send, not on questions or calendar invites.
  • The bubble says Failed to send · Tap to edit: tap it, check the recipients, and reschedule or send. If the account shows Reconnect in Settings, reconnect it first.
