Draft Messages

A draft of a message to any number of recipients that can be sent now, later, or on a recurring schedule

Draft messages allow you to save a message to any number of conversations.

Conversations include:

• Direct messages with other users

• Multi-person direct messages (group messages)

• Private channels

• Public channels

To create a draft message:

• Head to the Nightowl app home – make sure you are on the Home tab.

• Navigate to the Draft Messages section and click 📃New button.

• Enter one or more conversations to BCC.

  When more than one conversation is selected, semicolons will be used as delimiters to display the recipients after the message is created.

  E.g. a message to separately selected DM recipients @Jack, @Jill, and @Jen will show asBCC: @Jack; @Jill; @Jen whereas selecting a group DM between you, @Jack, and @Jill in addition to a separately selected DM with @Jen will appear as BCC: @Jack, @Jill; @Jen.

• Compose your message.

• Optionally enable the insertion of recipient mentions.

  The variable {@} will be replaced with a user tag in IMs and @here in other conversations.

• Select whether or not to show the recipient(s) that this message is from Nightowl.

  Default selection can be modified in App Settings

• Select whether or not to show previews of linked content in messages containing URLs.

  Default selection can be modified in App Settings
