Scheduling without labels? #41

Open Semmu opened 6 years ago

Semmu commented 6 years ago

Hi!

Is there a way to schedule emails without using labels? Me and my team would like to schedule emails somehow, but this labeling system isn't flexible enough for us. It would be better if we would be able to set a specific date for each draft (like other scripts do), but of course that would need a different interface for it.

Are there any plans to support this feature?

@Semmu - The gmail limited interface only supports predefined labels. Will keep this open and invite ideas from others on a work around.

Thanks for the fast reply!

Other similar solutions use a dedicated Google Spreadsheet for the UI. They import the drafts from Gmail, you specify a date for the scheduling, then schedule the sending command itself. Gmail's UI is indeed limited, but this would complement it. Downside would be the need to use an app outside Gmail's window.
