How to set up a schedule to automatically pause your Inbox after work
Burnout and quiet quitting are on the rise – and they have a detrimental effect on the success of a business, as well as their employees. Studies show that having the ability to disengage outside of work hours and rest reduces stress and boosts productivity. Prevent burnout and foster well-being by using Inbox Pause to effortlessly disconnect from work emails, allowing you to disconnect after work hours and recharge effectively.
Inbox Pause Schedules are a Pro Subscription plan feature. You can upgrade to a Pro Subscription plan here.
How to set up an Inbox Pause Schedule
1
Click the
Pause Inbox button in the top left corner of Gmail.
2
Click
Work Hours.
3
Adjust the times you want your Inbox paused as needed. (e.g. During a 9-5 workday, you may want your Inbox only paused outside of your work hours.)
4
Customize any additional Pause Settings. You can create an Auto-Reply to let senders know your Inbox is paused, whitelist certain email addresses, domains, and words with Delivery Exceptions, and/or hide the label that stores your emails so it's less accessible.
5
When everything's set up, click
Turn On Your Schedule to confirm. Your Inbox will be automatically paused outside of the work hours you set.
