Viva Insights Delayed Delivery does not work when using a Delay Delivery rule.
- Aug 10, 2023
This is a known issue that this Viva Insights schedule send suggestions feature doesnt work with Outlook delay delivery rules. There is a note about this in the documentation here: Schedule send in Outlook - Microsoft Support
If a user sets a recurring rule to delay the Outlook email on Windows desktop, this rule will override and take place first. That's why the user see the email will be sent after 2 mins.

I currently have an Outlook Rule which delays all email delivery by 2 minutes. All my outgoing email sits in the Outbox for 2 minutes and then is sent.
When I use the VIVA Suggested Send Delay Delivery feature it suggests the time of the person in their working hours and says when I hit send it will delay delivery. However, it doesn't my Outlook rule is still in effect and the email goes out after 2 minutes.
If I manually go into Delay Delivery and configure the date and time myself for that email it will delay delivery until that time and date.
