Since teams have members that work remotely worldwide, it isn\u2019t always appropriate to send one when you\u2019re working past midnight. Fortunately, the developer is adding a <strong>new feature to add your post at a scheduled time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not everyone will receive the update at the same time. Slack will release it gradually, testing the new feature in each region as it rolls out. In this way, it can detect and fix any issues along the way instead of receiving hundreds of complaints from various countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we don\u2019t know yet what the roadmap is for official launches, the developers have indicated it will take place on desktop and mobile. The best way to know if you have the new function is to accept any new updates in Slack and see if you can schedule a message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Slack-To-Roll-Out-With-Scheduled-Messages-Feature-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Slack To Roll Out With Scheduled Messages Feature\" class=\"wp-image-172941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Slack-To-Roll-Out-With-Scheduled-Messages-Feature-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Slack-To-Roll-Out-With-Scheduled-Messages-Feature-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Slack-To-Roll-Out-With-Scheduled-Messages-Feature-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Slack-To-Roll-Out-With-Scheduled-Messages-Feature-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Slack-To-Roll-Out-With-Scheduled-Messages-Feature-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, how will it work? Well, the <a href=\"https:\/\/slack.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mobile <\/a>and desktop versions vary. On smartphones, the opportunity to set the posting time appears after you try to send the message. When it comes to computers, you can set the schedule before you post a message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We haven\u2019t seen this feature in many other messaging apps, so Slack may be setting a new trend here.
