Local Email Scheduling uses the Employee Email add-in to schedule your outgoing employee emails through Outlook Classic and has a few specific workflow requirements, detailed below.

1. In an Email Designer draft, click Schedule Time, and use the date field or the date picker to set the schedule.

2. Click Confirm to send later.
   The email appears with its scheduled send date and time in your list of drafts in progress, where it can also be canceled by clicking Unschedule.
   
   

Important Considerations

There are a number of important caveats with this method of scheduling emails, primarily because this relies on functionality similar to Outlook’s Delayed Send feature.

• Outlook must be open at the time the message is sent.
  Similar to the process when using Microsoft’s Delayed Send feature, we recommend scheduling your message, then keeping Outlook open until the message is sent.
  If Outlook is closed during the time when drafts are scheduled to be sent, they will be sent the next time Outlook is opened.

• Email drafts are scheduled locally only.
  Email drafts that are scheduled locally through this feature are only scheduled to be sent on an individual's computer through their instance of Outlook.
  Emails that have been scheduled locally with the Outlook add-in show as having been scheduled on app.bananatag.com, but will not be visible in the Outlook Outbox (or Drafts folder).

• Email drafts that are scheduled locally can be updated on app.bananatag.com.
  When a locally scheduled email draft is about to be sent, the Outlook add-in will get the latest version of the draft from app.bananatag.com. Any changes made and saved in the Email Designer on app.bananatag.com will be fetched before sending it.

From Outlook Webmail, click New Message then click the Employee Email icon in the bottom right to open the sidebar.

You can schedule both plain text emails and drafts that you have created with the Email Designer.

Plain Text Email:

1. In your Employee Email sidebar, click Send Later and select the date and time to send your email.
2. Once your email recipients are entered, as well as your subject and the body of the email, click Track and Schedule, or just Schedule (if you don't want to track this email).

Email Designer Draft:

1. In your Employee Email sidebar, select the Drafts tab in the center.
2. Hover over the draft you would like to schedule and select the Calendar icon to schedule it.
3. In the Broadcast window that appears, select your Time and Date at the bottom where it says Time.
4. Make sure to click Schedule in the sidebar before closing it.

In Gmail, you can schedule both plain text emails and Email Designer drafts.

Plain Text Email:

1. In your email compose screen, click Send Later.
2. Select a custom time for your email to be sent.

   The email appears with its scheduled send date and time in your Drafts folder, where you can edit or cancel the scheduled send.

Email Designer Draft:

1. In your Gmail sidebar, select Drafts and click Schedule on the draft you would like to send.
2. Select a custom time for your email to be sent.
3. Click Schedule and your email will automatically send at the date and time you selected.
   The email appears with its scheduled send date and time in your list of drafts in progress, where you can edit or cancel the scheduled send.
