Scheduled Slack Messages Now Available

The Vercel Chat SDK has added support for scheduled Slack messages, enabling developers to send messages at predetermined times rather than immediately.

How It Works

Use the new thread.schedule() method to schedule a message with a postAt date:

const scheduled = await thread.schedule("Reminder: standup in 5 minutes!", {
    postAt: new Date("2026-03-09T08:55:00Z"),
});

// Cancel before delivery if needed
await scheduled.cancel();

Key Features

  • Flexible scheduling: Pass any future date/time via the postAt parameter
  • Cancel anytime: Scheduled messages can be cancelled before delivery using the returned object
  • Simple API: Integrates seamlessly with existing Chat SDK workflows

Next Steps

Refer to the Chat SDK documentation for implementation details and additional parameters.
