Man, I can't wait for that to be implemented.
So often I want to ask a question to someone, but not disturb them in their off hours. It is not urgent enough to keep them up at night, it is urgent enough to me needing an answer the next morning. Emails have become too formal for most people now, so I don't like sending them unless absolutely necessary. This is especially true for those working across timezones or night owls like me.
Now, my ADHD low working memory brain would love to queue these messages and forget about them. Rather than cluttering my todo list ( big no-no) or even worse keeping them in my head for an extra 12 hours.
It seems to be trivial to implement and I am honestly surprised it isn't a feature already.
- babyblueblanket 5y agoI think slack has an option to send a message at a specific time, at least I've used it.
- themitigating 5y agoI was about to quickly type "email" but you did address that. However what about fixing the email problem? A slack message can be an email without modification. There are also template footers if that's what you mean about formal
- tremon 5y agoSo often I want to ask a question to someone, but not disturb them in their off hours. I just send the message anyway, and I expect it to be read whenever they log back on to work. I would not expect any message, sent during off-hours, to be received immediately by the recipient.
- standardUser 5y agoYou can schedule a message to be sent the next morning. Much better than just sending it during off hours in cases where it isn't strictly urgent.
