Schedule Job Launches: Automate First Email/SMS for Better Timing and Efficiency | Product

The Problem: Most users launch jobs manually via email or SMS, but the "ready" moment often doesn't match the ideal "go-live" time. This forces us to set alarms or delay launches, leading to rushed sends or missed opportunities.Real-World Example: I had a school job ready to launch, but the football team was heading to playoffs—no one wants picture orders during game travel hype! Instead of launching mid-week, I had to wake up early Saturday to hit send manually. This isn't just inconvenient; it risks lower engagement if timed poorly.Requested Feature: Add a simple scheduling option when launching jobs: allow the setting of a specific date/time for the first email/SMS to auto-send. Integrate it into the existing launch workflow—perhaps a calendar picker next to the send button.
