Schedule one-off messages in advance ("Send later")
Please make an option to schedule a one-off message to a specific guest. On the guest message thread, it would be helpful to type a message to a guest, and then, instead of sending the message right away, be able to schedule it for a future time. Many email providers and some cell phones offer this ability. It would assist with working through messages at odd hours when you may not want to send a message.

There's many times I want to send a message at a later time or date and it would be great to be able to have this option, as currently I have to set a calendar reminder and ensure I'm free to send it right at that time or day.

It would be great to schedule a one-time message rather than creating a messaging rule for all guests in the future

Yes I have this feature in my gmail and would be great to have it in hospitable as well. Especially for times I'm working late at night and don't want to message the guest at 11PM, I can schedule it to go out the next day at 8am for example:

It would be helpful to have reoccuring rules for Holidays/ Ex every 4th of July or christmas a message will go out specific to guests staying at the property on those days.

I need this too. I have some scheduled home maintenance schedule with a crew. I would like to send a reminder to the guest so I dont forget. This is also the case for random things like street sweeping a few time a year.

I work a full-time job while self-managing my STR and I usually don’t get a chance to handle my STR-related items until late at night. There have been plenty of times where I need to send the guest a unique, non-templated message but I can’t hit send because it’s midnight. Then, in the morning or afternoon I might either be in the middle of my commute or in a meeting at work and can’t dedicate the time necessary to log in to Hospitable to compose a professional message and hit send. Being able to compose a message at 2AM and schedule it to be sent the following week at 9AM or any other time in the future would be a game changer.

You can already do this! You just need to click where it says hours / minutes to change it.

This is for general messaging rules, but wouldn’t work in many other scenarios. For example, needing to remind the guests that a service is being conducted in the morning. Or scheduling a message 3 months in advance to wish a couple happy anniversary during their stay, on the day of their anniversary.

Every New Years, I want to send a list of firework locations.

This is absolutely necessary due to the functionality that detaches a message from a reservation once it is manually edited. If the message gets sent incorrectly due to the detachment but the same message is needed to be sent in the future on the same reservation, this now needs to be done manually
