This would be super useful when I’m writing an email and suddenly remember I need to attach a file or add someone to the CC list. Instead of having to wait until the next day, I could just set a quick delay.
I’m thinking maybe there’s a Chrome extension or some workaround that adds these options? Has anyone found a solution for this or am I stuck with the default Gmail scheduling? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Had this same problem a few months back with client emails. Here’s what works: click the dropdown arrow next to Send, hit “Schedule send” then “Pick date & time”. You can set it to the exact minute you want. For your 15-minute delay, just add 15 minutes to the current time and punch it in manually. Not as smooth as preset buttons, but it gets the job done. I use this all the time when I want to double-check emails before they send or sync up timing with phone calls.
Had the same problem! Here’s a trick that works well - when you’re writing an email and need to make changes, just minimize the compose window instead of scheduling it. Gmail auto-saves it as a draft, so you can finish it whenever. It’s not automatic delays, but it’s saved me tons of times when I forgot attachments or needed to double-check stuff. If you want real scheduling with custom times, check out Google Workspace - it’s got way better scheduling features than regular Gmail.
