 * Hello! Does your plugin support an action queue?
 * I would like to avoid having an action performed for many people in a very short
   space of time, such as sending emails or triggering webhooks.
 * Can you help me with this? Thanks.

 * Hi [@danielspalma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielspalma/),
 * Great question. Scheduled and delayed actions in Pro are handed off to Action
   Scheduler, and in the settings you can use the Background Actions setting to 
   move _some_ actions to a queue.
 * Additional control over queueing is coming but not available yet. My tentative
   guess is that it’s about 2 months away; work has started but it’s still in the
   early stages.

 * Wow, great to know [@uncannyautomator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uncannyautomator/)!
 * I’ll go Pro, so.
 * Does the pro have the option to send emails in a period of time only? I mean…
   not beetween dates but, for example, from 8am to 18pm.
 * If not, can you open a internal request for this feature?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@danielspalma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielspalma/) ,
 * Right now Automator supports conditions where you could say “only send an email
   for this recipe if it’s between 8 AM and 6 PM”, but if it’s outside those hours,
   it would _drop_ the email. In other words, it can’t queue it and wait until 8
   AM to send the queued email, with our time conditions, it the condition is met,
   it just won’t run.
 * The functionality I mentioned us adding in about 2 months will be closer to a
   scenario where we would run X things, wait Y seconds, then run X more.
