How Future Messages works
Create it. Choose a date. Let Lyff deliver it.
Choose who and when
Enter your recipient's email address and select the scheduled delivery date.
Delivery on your date
Lyff uses your chosen date to schedule the message for your recipient.
Important: Future Messages are date-based. They are not triggered by missed check-ins, inactivity, incapacity, death or a Guardian's request.
Make it personal
More than one way to say it.
Choose the format that feels right for what you want to share.
Written words
A heartfelt note, family story, advice or a message of encouragement.
Video or audio
Share a recording so your recipient can hear your voice or see you speak.
Files and keepsakes
Include supported attachments that add meaning to your message.
Two different ways to share
Future Messages are not vault access.
Lyff keeps personal messages separate from the rules for sharing documents and other vault items.
Future Messages
Send a personal message to an email recipient on the date you select. The recipient does not need to be your Guardian or Custodian.
Vault item sharing
Share Now is limited to nominated Guardians or Custodians. Event-based release of selected items follows Lyff's separate review and approval process.
A little planning helps
Make sure your message reaches the right person.
Future Messages work best when your recipient details and chosen date are accurate.
- Check the email address Use an address your recipient is likely to have when the delivery date arrives.
- Choose your date carefully Delivery is scheduled by date, not by a life event or inactivity.
- Share responsibly Consider the recipient's circumstances and the impact of an unexpected message.
