Can google send mail at a schedule time
Yes, Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) allows you to schedule email sending using a feature called "Scheduled Send" or "Delayed Send". This feature is available in Gmail and Google Workspace accounts.
Here's how to use it:
Method 1: Using Gmail's built-in feature
- Compose a new email as you normally would.
- Click on the three vertical dots at the bottom of the compose window.
- Select "Schedule send" from the dropdown menu.
- Choose the date and time you want the email to be sent.
- Click "Schedule" to save the changes.
Method 2: Using Google Apps Script
- Go to the Google Apps Script editor by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner of your Gmail inbox and selecting "See all settings".
- Click on "Scripts" and then "New project".
- Create a new script by clicking on "Blank project".
- In the script editor, create a function that sends the email using the GmailApp service. For example:
function sendEmail() { var subject = "Test email"; var body = "This is a test email"; var recipient = "[email protected]"; GmailApp.sendEmail(recipient, subject, body); }
- Set up a trigger to run the script at the desired schedule time. You can do this by clicking on the "Triggers" tab and creating a new trigger.
Method 3: Using a third-party add-on
There are several third-party add-ons available that allow you to schedule email sending in Gmail, such as Boomerang, Sanebox, or FollowUp.cc. These add-ons often offer more advanced features and customization options.
Keep in mind that scheduled sending may not work as expected if you're using a custom domain or have specific email settings configured. It's always a good idea to test your email sending setup before relying on scheduled sending.
