How to Schedule an Email in Gmail

February 19, 2020 by James Palmer

Can you schedule an email in Gmail? Yes, it is possible now. In their continuous effort to improving user’s experience of their wide array of applications, Google has once again set the bar with yet another nifty feature in its Gmail application. To make Gmail better, Google has made a recent update to their Gmail application that enables users to schedule their email.

Sounds cool right? This has eliminated reliance on other third-party applications and extensions such as Boomerang. In this short guide, you will learn how to schedule an email in Gmail.

How Scheduling Email Helps

By now, you might be probably wondering why you should schedule your emails for a later time and date. This comes with a couple of benefits.

Scheduling emails comes in handy when:

1) When you are sending an email to a person in a different time zone.

2) When it’s not convenient for the recipient to receive the message, for example at night or during the weekend

Let’s now explore the steps you need to take to enjoy this new feature.

How to Schedule Email in Gmail

Follow the steps below

  1. Head out to your Gmail account and click on the Compose button on the left pane as shown

  2. Once you are done typing your content, locate the Send button. Now, here is where it all goes down. Adjacent to the Send button is an arrow-down button as shown below
