Suggestion for New Feature: Schedule Message Button

Dear Discord Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I’ve been an avid user of Discord for quite some time now, and I wanted to share an idea for a new feature that I believe could greatly enhance the user experience.

My suggestion is to introduce a “Schedule Message” button within Discord’s messaging interface. This feature would allow users to compose messages and schedule them to be sent at a future date and time to their friends or specific channels.

Here are a few reasons why I think this feature would be valuable:

    1.    Convenience: Sometimes, we want to send messages to our friends or communities at specific times when they are more likely to be online or when an event is relevant. Having the ability to schedule messages would allow us to do this without needing to remember to send them later.
    2.    Planning Events: Whether it’s organizing a gaming session, coordinating a study group, or reminding members about an upcoming event, being able to schedule messages in advance would streamline the planning process and ensure important information is communicated effectively.
    3.    Time Zones: Discord users come from all around the world, which means coordinating activities across different time zones can be challenging. With a scheduling feature, users can ensure their messages reach everyone at a suitable time, regardless of their location.
    4.    Flexibility: Sometimes, we think of something we want to say to our friends but realize it’s not the best time to send it. Having the option to schedule messages allows for more flexibility in communication without interrupting others’ activities.

I believe implementing a “Schedule Message” feature would not only improve user engagement but also differentiate Discord from other messaging platforms. It aligns well with Discord’s ethos of creating a seamless and user-friendly communication experience.

Thank you for considering my suggestion. I’m excited about the possibility of seeing this feature implemented and am eager to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Best regards,
Hana
