Send yourself a message later

A scheduled message is a note you write now and read later. Yardmaster drops it into your Inbox at the time you pick, once or every week, so a checklist or a reminder turns up when you need it. No agent is involved, and delivering it costs nothing.

Show it in the sidebar#

Scheduled messages are on, but their sidebar row is hidden at first. Turn on Show Scheduled Messages in sidebar in Settings > Optional Features. A Scheduled Messages row then appears under Automation.

Write a message#

1. 1

   Click Scheduled Messages in the sidebar, then New message.

2. 2

   Type a Subject and your Message. You can use formatting and click Add image to add a picture; Preview shows how it will look.

3. 3

   Pick the Recurrence: Once, Daily, Weekdays, Weekends or Custom days, and the Time (and the Date for a one-time message).

4. 4

   Click Schedule message.

Instead of the controls in step 3, you can type the timing under Schedule (plain English), for example every weekday at 8pm. Yardmaster fills in the controls for you; check them before you save.

When it arrives#

The message appears in your Inbox under its subject, with the time it was delivered. Click Archive when you are done with it; a repeating message keeps its schedule. Each delivery is a copy, so editing the message later never changes one already in your Inbox. A Once message stops after it is delivered.

Pause, change or delete one#

The list shows your messages under Active and Paused. Pause stops a message without deleting it, and Resume starts it again. Delete removes it after you confirm; copies already in your Inbox stay.
