Scheduling emails in Gmail is a handy feature that lets you plan when your emails are sent.
Let's say you’re using a computer, iPhone, or an Android phone through the Gmail mobile app, you can easily schedule emails to be sent at the perfect time.
In this guide, we will show you how to schedule emails in Gmail, why it’s useful, and how you can edit or cancel scheduled emails if needed.
¿Por qué programar un correo electrónico en Gmail?
Google lets you schedule up to 100 emails at once. But why would you want to schedule an email? Here are four simple reasons:
Evita enviar correos electrónicos a horas intempestivas. Si escribes un correo a altas horas de la noche, puedes programarlo para que se envíe a una hora más adecuada al día siguiente.
Different time zones. If the person you're emailing is in a different time zone, you can schedule recurring emails to reach them during their working hours.
El momento perfecto. Puede que quieras que tu correo llegue en un momento concreto, como justo antes de una reunión o el día del cumpleaños de alguien.
Better email open rates. Scheduling emails can help ensure your message arrives when the recipient is most likely to read it, increasing the chances that they'll open and respond to your email.
