Send It Later for Slack

Check out the Getting Started Guide for help getting started.

You can use /later [message] [at|in] [date time|distance] to schedule a new message, /later compose to open a dialog for composing a new scheduled message, /later c as a shorthand for /later compose, /later list to list your scheduled messages, and /later help to view instructions on how to use the command.

Use the /later list command to list your scheduled messages. Each message in the list has a cancel button.

You can add attachments and images to your scheduled messages if you add them as links within the message. If a file isn't currently available online, you can upload it in the 'File browser' within Slack, and then copy the link to that file and use that in the message.

When a new message is scheduled with Send It Later, it is transferred securely to our servers via the Slack API using SSL. At our servers messages are stored encrypted. After the message has been delivered to its recipients the message content is removed from our servers.

If you have added Send It Later to your Slack workspace but have trouble finding it, you can add it to the 'Starred' section in Slack's sidebar. Click 'Add apps' in Slack's sidebar, look for Send It Later, click on the app, and then click the star next to the name to make it stick to the 'Starred' section.

Yes, you can schedule messages in threads. Hover the Slack message you want to reply to and click the three dots that appear. In the menu that appears, click 'Schedule a reply'.

Just remove the Send It Later app from your Slack workspace.
