Now it’s time to set up the trigger on a date and at a time you choose in your Calendar. What you did with the steps above was create an Automator Application that will send the email you composed when it’s triggered. Just remember where you save it for the next steps.

By default, Automator will save the Application to Automator > iCloud, but you can select a different spot if you like. Open Automator on your Mac from the Applications folder in your Dock or Go > Applications from your Finder menu.ġ) Select New Document and then pick Application for the type.Ģ) In the far left-hand sidebar, make sure Actions is selected and under Library, and pick Mail.ģ) To the right, choose New Mail Message and drag it to the workflow space.Ĥ) Compose your message in that New Mail Message box, include all pieces (To, Subject, etc.) and select an Account if necessary.įollow the same steps to add more messages that you’d like to schedule for the same time.ĥ) Choose Send Outgoing Messages from the list and drag it to the workflow window below the New Mail Message box (or after the last Message box if you have more than one).Ħ) Click File > Save, give your Application a name (like Schedule Mail), and hit Save. The one we’ll show you here is how to use Automator on Mac to schedule Mail. Until Apple adds a feature to Mail that lets us send emails later, you have a few options. Being able to schedule those keeps you from forgetting to send them when the time comes. For personal emails, you might create messages for birthdays, anniversaries, or other occasions ahead of time. So writing them up and scheduling a time to send them is not just convenient, but essential. Having the ability to compose your email and schedule a time for it to be sent is wonderful for both business emails and personal ones.įor work, you might be diligent about managing your time and work on emails at a specific time each day.

While it seems like a simple request, many of us are still waiting for a “send later” feature in the Mail app.
