Delaying outbound messages, and ability to withdraw tickets.

Hi there, 

I use to work for a company that had an email client that was set up to put emails in an outbound queue by default. This was to give a few minute window gap between when the agent hit's send, and when it's actually sent. This was great because it gave us a window where we could withdraw tickets if we realized an error.

I'm trying to determine if there's some sort of similar solution to that here on Zendesk. I saw the recommendation for Cancel Ticket submit, but that isn't quite the same thing, or even remotely similar.

Hi George Orais-Bonheimer,

You could set up a trigger that when a ticket is submitted with a public reply the ticket the shows up in an outbox queue, but that would not delay the sending of the email. The only option for delaying the actual sending is the Cancel Ticket Submit App as far as I know.
