# Soft Send

> Soft Send is a Chrome extension that delays outgoing Gmail messages for 1 minute to 1 hour before delivery, giving users time to cancel, pause, or correct a mistake. It solves the problem that Gmail's built-in Undo Send stops at 30 seconds.

## What problem it solves

Gmail's Undo Send gives users 5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds to cancel a sent message. Once that window closes and Gmail delivers the message, it cannot be recalled. Common situations where users need more time:

- Sent an email without attaching the file mentioned in the message
- Sent to the wrong recipient
- Spotted a tone or factual error after pressing Send
- Want a consistent safety window on every outgoing email

Soft Send holds supported Gmail messages in a local queue before delivery. During the countdown the user can cancel, pause, or send immediately. The free tier includes a 1-minute delay, a one-queued-email limit, Cancel, Send Now, and a missing-attachment warning. Pro adds longer and custom delays (up to 1 hour), unlimited queued emails, Pause and Resume, and advanced risk checks.

## Key facts

## Common questions

**Can you undo send in Gmail after 30 seconds?**
Not after the message is delivered. Soft Send must be installed before sending and configured to hold supported messages. It creates a pre-delivery window of 1 minute to 1 hour.

**What if I sent a Gmail without an attachment?**
Soft Send warns the user before delivery when the message text mentions an attachment but Gmail has no file attached. The user can cancel the send, add the file, and resend.

**Is Soft Send affiliated with Google?**
No. Soft Send is an independent Chrome extension and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.

**Where is Soft Send available?**
Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/soft-send/mfimcohlkjphlnhokmpfdnlbfmingllf
