Snooze Emails in Spark 2 on your Mac, iPad, and iPhone

0:00 In this video, we’re going to look at how we can snooze emails and spark. We’re going to look at this on the Mac, iPad and iPhone. Now what do I mean by snoozing emails? Well, when we receive an email in our inbox, what we’re able to do is basically snooze that we can take it out of our inbox and have it come back at a later date. Why would we want to do this? Well, let’s say you get an email, and you do not need to respond right away with it. Maybe you need to respond within a week. You don’t want to deal with it right now. You also don’t want to have it sitting in your inbox. Why would you want it in your inbox when you’re not going to deal with it right now. So what you can do is you can snooze that. So it takes it out of your inbox, and then it comes back at a later date that you set. Let’s first look at this on the Mac. So I’m looking at Spark here. And I have all of these different emails. So Johnny Appleseed emailed me, he needs an answer, but he doesn’t need it right now. Maybe he needs an answer by next week, Friday or this weekend. So what I’m going to do is I’m going to respond to him later on, or maybe I have to look something up. So I don’t have that information right now. So I don’t want this in in my inbox. I would like to move this out of the inbox. And then when I’m ready to respond, it comes back into my inbox. That’s what snoozing does. To do that, all we have to do is just select the email, and then we go over to the clock here. And you’re going to see when I click on it, I’m able to snooze it. So I can snooze it to later today, this evening, tomorrow the weekend. Or I can even pick a date. When I go over to pick a date, I can select what date I want. We have our different times here and we can customize this. So let’s go with later today. So what this is going to do when I click on this is it’s going to disappear out of my inbox here. And it’s going to reappear at 12am. So that’s basically what snooze dots. Let’s go ahead and do that. It is now snoozed, and it’s going to come back at 12. So where did it go? Well, basically what it did is it went into a folder here called snooze. What I’m able to do is click on this, and I can see all of my different snoozed emails. So here’s that email. If I want to open it up, I can do that. And I can bring it back into my Inbox by clicking on this and discard the snooze. So I do that. And now it is back in my inbox. 2:39 It is seen because I read it. So now what I need to do is go over to seeing here, and there’s the email.Now the nice thing about snoozing is you do not have to have your email client open. Spark will do this even if your email client is closed. 2:56 So let’s see how this works on the iPad and iPhone. And then we’ll see how we can customize how long is snooze Is it four by default. So I’m going to go to my iPad first. And here’s Johnny Appleseed. I want to snooze this, what I do is I go down to the bottom, you’re gonna see we have this little clock here. I click on it. And I can set when I want to snooze it. And just like with the Mac, I can pick a date and set my own date in there. And then if I want to customize it, I can also customize it here. So with this, what I’m able to do is set when later today is when this evening is when tomorrow evening is I’ll show you where this is in the Settings app to towards the end of the video. But basically this is where I can go and customize my default options. So I’m going to close this. And I can also set an alert so it’ll notify. Let’s see how this works on the iPhone. So I’m looking at my iPhone here, I open up Johnny Appleseed. And down towards the bottom, we have my little clock. So I tap on it. And then from here, what I’m able to do is so how long I want to snooze it for. And again, I can pick a date. I can also customize it and I can set a notification. So that’s what snooze is. Now let’s look at how we customize it. What are the default values for when it snooze. So let’s go back over to my Mac. We’re going to look at this on the Mac first. 4:29 So when I snooze an email, let’s go ahead and snooze this. You can see that I have some default options here. Later today is 12am. This evening is 8pm And tomorrow is 9am. 4:43 What I can do is I can change when that is so maybe this evening is more like 6pm and later today could be like four hours from now or three hours from now. I want to set that up as my default. Well the way that we do that is 5:00 If we go up to spark, then we go over to preferences. And then we go over to scheduling. Under scheduling, we have our different options here, we’re just looking at snoozes here, I’ll have other videos on reminders and send later. But basically, I select snoozes. And then from here, what I’m able to do is set when later today, so let’s put this at two hours, maybe this evening is 6pm. And I want to have tomorrow evening in there, I want to have another option. So tomorrow is 9am. And tomorrow evening is 6pm. Next week, is going to be on Monday at 9am. I can also have later this week, which will add a few days. And I can say in a month, so we can set what we want to see. So now when I close this, and I snooze, this, you’re going to see later today is plus two hours, I’m recording this at seven o’clock, my tomorrow and tomorrow evening are 9am and 6pm. And then next week is Monday at nine just like I said in those default values, we can do the same thing on the iPad and iPhone. So I’m going to go to the iPad here. And what we do is we go to our three horizontal lines in the upper left hand corner, we need to go to spark settings. 6:24 We go down to settings here. 6:27 And then what we do is we go to scheduling, under scheduling, just like with a Mac, we have my three different types of scheduling. We’re focusing on snoozes in this video. 6:39 And then from here, I’m able to set which ones I want to see and what their default behavior is. If you want it to alert you by default, you can do that as well. 6:51 And on the iPhone, same kind of thing. What we do is we go to the three lines at the upper left hand corner. 6:59 And then we go to Settings at the very bottom. 7:03 We go to scheduling, we have our different types of scheduling, I go to snoozes here. 7:10 And from here I’m able to set when each default value is as well as if I wanted to alert me by default. 7:19 So that is how we snooze our emails. This is one of my favorite features in Spark. It’s something that I use on a daily basis. I get an email, I’m not going to work with that email right now maybe I don’t need to respond to it right away. I don’t want it sitting in my inbox. So what I’m able to do is I’m able to snooze it, and then it comes back at a later date and I can do this on my Mac, iPad and iPhone. I can have default dates and I can customize when those dates are and you can even set notifications alerts. So that is how snooze works in Spark on the Mac, iPad and iPhone.
