So why is this important? Because it’s way too easy and disruptive to interrupt another at work. This is again ideal for messages that you need to send, but aren’t super urgent and do not require interrupting your colleague from their current priority.

Slack’s new scheduled send feature is as straightforward as it sounds: you can now schedule your Slack messages to be delayed and sent in the future. This, paired with some awesome status syncing capabilities from Reclaim.ai, can help you become a rockstar Slack communicator and role model for your team. Your colleague may be in an important meeting, doing some heads-down work, or just sleeping because you’re located on the other side of the world! Nobody wants to be the annoying person pinging another for a non-urgent item when it’s just not a great time to hear from you.įortunately, Slack saw this challenge and came at it with a much-anticipated feature launch in June of 2021: scheduled sends for Slack messages. If you’re a regular Slack user, you’ve probably debated sending a message to another team member when you know it’s an inconvenient time.
