  1. Set the date and time you want the message to be sent based on your time zone. Lark displays the date and local time of the recipient. Click Schedule to send the message to the recipient at the date and time you've set.
  • Note: You cannot see the recipient's corresponding time zone if they've chosen to hide it. This means you will not see the prompt Message to be delivered at recipient's local time: [date and time].

Why did my scheduled message fail to send?
  • You cannot send messages to the group due to permission changes.
  • The chat may no longer exist. This may mean the group was disbanded, the recipient was removed from the chat, or their account has been deactivated.
