Schedule an Email to Send Later

Last updated September 18, 2026

Plenty of advisors do their best work after the kids are in bed. That is a fine time to write, and a poor time for a client to get an email: a proposal that arrives at 11:40 PM reads differently from the same proposal at 8:00 AM, and a reply sent at midnight sets an expectation you may not want.

Send later lets you finish the email now and choose when it goes out.

Where you'll find it

A Send later button sits next to Send in:

WhereWhat it sends
Proposals → Send to clientThe proposal email, including your personal note or a loaded template
Proposals → Resend proposalA resend or a nudge
A trip → Email ClientA one-off email to the trip's travelers
Inbox, a client, or a lead → ComposeA one-off email

Choosing a time

Click Send later and pick one of the suggestions, or choose your own date and time:

  • This morning, 8:00 AM (offered when it is still before 7 AM)
  • Tomorrow morning, 8:00 AM
  • Tomorrow afternoon, 1:00 PM
  • Monday morning, 8:00 AM (offered on Fridays and Saturdays, so nothing lands on the weekend)
  • Pick a date and time: any time from a minute from now to a year ahead

Times are in your time zone, the one your computer is set to. The menu says which one, so "8:00 AM" means 8:00 AM where you are.

Emails go out within five minutes of the time you chose.

Changing your mind

Every scheduled email waits in your Outbox, in a Scheduled section at the top, soonest first. Each one shows who it is going to and when, with three buttons:

  • Send now: send it straight away instead of waiting.
  • Change time: pick a new time.
  • Cancel: it is discarded and never sent.

Hold for review and Send later work together. If your Send Mode is Hold for review, a scheduled email still goes out at the time you chose. Choosing a time is you approving it. If your Send Mode is Block all, nothing is sent, scheduled or not.

What your client sees

Exactly what they would have received if you had pressed Send: the same wording, branding, signature and attachments. If your Gmail or Outlook is connected, it goes out from your own address at the scheduled time, just as a normal send would.

Proposals

Scheduling a proposal email makes the proposal link live straight away, so you can still copy the link or preview it. The proposal is marked as sent for the time you chose, and if you turned on automatic follow-ups, the first reminder counts from that time, not from when you scheduled it.

If you cancel a scheduled proposal email, the proposal itself stays live. Use Resend proposal when you are ready to email it.

If a scheduled email can't be sent

If something stops the email going out at its time, such as a disconnected mailbox or an address that bounces, you get a notification in the bell, and the email shows as Delivery failed in Sent. Open it there and click Send it now to try again once the problem is fixed. Nothing fails silently.
