Step 5
❱ This function is useful to remind yourself about stuff that is weeks
or months away but you may forget why you wanted to keep it
in the first place. You can attach a note to the message as you
schedule it. When the message returns to your inbox, your note
will be added to the email thread.


Step 1
❱ One of Boomerang’s other useful features is tracking responses.
When writing an email, you can set Boomerang to give you a
reminder if you don’t get a reply after a certain amount of days. If
the message comes back to your inbox without a response, you
can then react by sending another email to follow up.


Step 2
❱ You can schedule your follow-up message as you’re writing
the original email. If the person replies to your original email,
Boomerang will detect the response, and will not send the second
email. If they don’t reply, the software will send the follow-up
message automatically, without you having to think about it.

Step 3
❱ You can also send recurring emails. All you have to do is write
a message as you normally would, then click Schedule Recurring
Message from the bottom of the Send Later menu. From the
menu, you can then choose the start date, frequency, day of the
week to send and end date.

Step 4
❱ To remove Boomerang from your computer, first uninstall the
plug-in from your browser. Now revoke Boomerang’s access to
Gmail data. Right click the Boomerang icon in your browser and
click Manage Extensions. Now disable Boomerang and then click
the Bin icon to delete it.
