How To Schedule Send Emails On Gmail?

You can schedule your email if you want the recipient to receive the email at the most convenient time. Or schedule your emails at a specific time to avoid distraction and increase productivity. 

Gmail integrated email scheduling on its website and app. Not only new emails but also it’s possible to schedule replies. They have a folder called Scheduled, where you can find and delete all your scheduled emails. 

Schedule an email on Gmail

Open a web browser and visit Gmail. If you want to schedule a new email, click the Compose button at the top left corner. 

Write your email like usual; enter the recipient’s email, subject, and message. You can attach files or links, too, if you want. 

If you want to send the email right now, press the Send button. But to schedule your email, click on the More send options icon beside Send button. 

Click on Schedule send. 

You can select a nearby date and time offered by Gmail. You can also set a custom date and time by clicking Pick date & time.

It’s easy to schedule your emails on the Gmail app. Open the Gmail app on your smartphone. Tap on the Compose button to create a new email.

How to cancel a scheduled email?

You may schedule an email, but before Gmail sends it, it may not be necessary to send it anyway. In that case, you can cancel the scheduled send.
