    Delayed Send & Undo Send for EmailsSubmitted

    Feature RequestAdd the ability to configure a short delay before outbound emails are sent, with an Undo Send option available during that window.Similar to what exists in Messenger.Problem / Use CaseCurrently, once an agent sends an email in Intercom, it is sent immediately. This leaves no opportunity to catch a typo, incorrect information, missing attachment, or accidental send after clicking Send.Other CRIM’s (i.e. Kustomer) offer a useful workflow where an agent can send an email as normal, but the message remains in a temporary suspended state for a short period before actually being delivered. During this window, the agent can select Recall/Undo, which returns the email to draft so it can be edited and resent.This provides a simple safety net without adding additional steps to the normal email workflow.Proposed SolutionIntroduce a configurable Send Delay for outbound emails in Intercom.For example, an admin or individual user could configure a delay of 30, 60 or 120 seconds. When an agent sends an email:The email enters a temporary pending/suspended state. The UI displays an Undo Send option and, ideally, the remaining time before the email is sent. If the agent selects Undo, the email returns to draft and can be edited. If no action is taken, the email is automatically sent once the configured delay expires.BenefitThis would reduce accidental or incorrect emails, give agents a chance to catch mistakes immediately after sending, and provide additional confidence when communicating with customers, all without disrupting or slowing down the standard workflow.

    Simple, brand-aware one-off email sending — pick a brand, see the signature/logo before sendingSubmitted

    We run a multi-brand support operation (several brand identities under one workspace), and sending a single branded email to one customer is currently more complicated than it needs to be, especially compared to other helpdesk tools we've used previously.Today, there are two ways to send a one-off email to a customer, and neither one gives a simple "pick the brand, see the correct branding, send" experience:Contacts → New conversation → Email — this is genuinely the simplest composer (no title, no draft/set-live state), but the brand-specific signature/logo is only applied invisibly at send time, based on whichever Brand happens to be set on the conversation. There's no live preview of the branding before sending, and the "From" address has to be manually matched to the intended brand — it's easy for these to get out of sync (we caught this ourselves live: a conversation's Team Inbox was set to one brand while the From address defaulted to a completely different brand). Outbound → Messages — this does let you build a branded template and see the logo/branding before sending, but it's built for campaigns: every message requires a title, has a Draft/Set live state, and needs a Fixed audience set up even to reach a single person. This is a lot of unnecessary overhead for what is really just "send this one customer a branded email right now."Requested feature: a simple one-off email flow (like option 1 above) that lets the sender pick which brand they're sending as, and then shows a live preview of that brand's logo/signature directly in the composer before sending — without needing to build or select a full Outbound campaign template, set a title, or manage a draft/live state. Effectively, we're asking for the branding-preview strength of Outbound templates combined with the simplicity of the one-off Contacts/Inbox composer.For businesses operating under different regulatory obligations per brand, this also isn't just a cosmetic issue — a customer receiving the wrong brand's identity on a confirmation email is a real compliance risk, not just an inconsistent-look problem.
