If you are here and looking for a way to schedule follow-ups in Gmail you probably already know how important follow-ups are in the sales process.

In this article, we will show you some tips on how to schedule follow-ups in Gmail.
3 Easy Ways to Schedule Follow-ups in Gmail
We will guide you through the most effective ways you could automate your follow-ups in Gmail, which are:
- Use nudges and snooze in Gmail
- Schedule send in Gmail
- Set up multiple auto follow-ups
Setting up Follow-up Reminders in Gmail
If you can’t remember when you have to get back to your prospect or client, nudges are the perfect way to remind you and make sure you are not being too annoying or you are following up too soon.
With nudges instead of you thinking about when to follow up, you’ll get a Gmail reminder to reply.
How to set up nudges in Gmail?
Nudges is a Gmail feature that will remind you to follow up after a certain time to a message you sent or received.
Most Gmail accounts already have it enabled but here’s how to get Gmail’s follow-up nudges:
- Open Gmail on your computer.
- Click settings in the top right corner.
- Click Open all settings from the menu.
- Click General from the options.
- Look for the nudges settings.
- Here you can select Suggest emails to follow up on and Suggest emails to reply to.
- Then go ahead and click save.
Schedule Send Feature in Gmail
Gmail offers the functionality to schedule emails to be sent later.
Here’s how you can do it:
- Compose your initial email in Gmail.
- Click the dropdown arrow next to the ‘Send’ button.
- Select ‘Schedule send’.
- Pick the preferred date and time for sending your email.
- Your scheduled emails can be managed under the ‘Scheduled’ tab in Gmail, accessible from any device.

To add Rebump’s Bump Sequence to your scheduled email:
- Copy the unique BCC address provided by Rebump.
