How to Schedule a Text for Later

Sometimes the right time to text isn't right now. Maybe it's 10 PM, or you want the reminder to land the morning of the job. You can write it now and schedule it.

Schedule it

1. Open the conversation in Conversations.
2. Click SMS and type your message.
3. Click the timer icon next to the Send button.
4. Pick the date, the time, and the time zone.
5. Click Schedule, then Send Later.

Cancel a scheduled text

1. Hover over the scheduled message in the conversation.
2. Click the three dots on the right, then Details.
3. Cancel it and click Yes to confirm.

A cancelled text is deleted, so you'll need to write it again if you change your mind.

A few tips

• Leave a draft and come back. If you close a conversation before sending, your draft is saved.
• Clicking Clear deletes what you typed. There's no undo.
• Only text people who said yes to texts from you. See How to Get Customers to Opt In to Texts.
