DocsSchedule sends and manage scheduled emails
Send-later flows, the Scheduled view tab, and how to edit or cancel a queued email before it dispatches.
Every compose surface opens the same schedule menu, and it is the only way to schedule a send. In a reply inside a thread and in the compose window alike, click the chevron attached to the Send button. There is no checkbox to toggle first.
The menu offers three send-time presets, each showing the exact moment it resolves to:
- Tomorrow morning, which is 9:00 tomorrow.
- Tomorrow afternoon, which is 13:00 tomorrow.
- Monday morning, which is 9:00 on the next Monday that is not today.
- Pick date and time opens a date and time field for anything else. It will not accept a time that is already past.
Times are your own wall clock, not a server timezone. A preset that has already gone by renders greyed out and reads In the past instead of quietly scheduling backwards. Once a time is set, the Send button reads Schedule send, a confirmation line below it reads Scheduled for … with a Clear link, and the menu gains a Send now instead row.
Attachments on a scheduled send are limited to 50 MB in total. A larger set is refused when you schedule it, with the two figures named, rather than accepted and then failing silently at the send time.
The inbox sidebar exposes a Scheduled tab with a count badge. Each row shows the recipient, subject, scheduled time, and whether attachments are queued. Two row actions:
- Edit: opens a modal with subject, body, and scheduled-time fields. You can adjust until the worker claims the row at dispatch time.
- Cancel: flips the row to
cancelledand the worker skips it. Use any time before send.
This view also carries your pending follow-up reminders. When any are waiting, a Waiting on reply section sits above the queued sends and lists them; see the follow-up reminders article for what they do.
pending state). Once the worker has claimed a row for send, cancel returns 409. By that point the email is seconds away from dispatch.
