Is it possible to have a forms submission email be delayed and sent at specific time, say 2:00PM everyday, rather than immediately like it does when the user clicks "Submit"?

I have a form that saves to both database and sends an email when submitted, but I would like the email to be delayed from sending until 2PM everyday. Saving to database is fine, its just the email that needs to be delayed.

Is this something I can do in RSforms? Any help or guidance would be appreciated. This is my proposed work around because of the inability to "Save and Return" later...Thank you.

A little background: Since there is no "Save and Return Later" option in RSforms, I have to provide the user the Managed Directory option just in case he needs to add more data to the form later on; But the email already gets sent out on the initial submission....This is why I need that email to be sent automatically at 2pm, to give the user some time to add the additional data if he needs to (which he may not all the time, but he needs that option).

Batch email processing is its own resource-intensive and specialized field of app. If you had an extension or other software to handle batch emails with the rules you described, and which had a database table as its email queue, you could hypothetically use Mapping to inject into its queue, but going that route might require a fair bit of extra development (custom validations and other PHP code) to get right.

Source: Whole-cloth educated wild guess. Only been using RSForm for a week, but in that time I've written a small app in it; have worked as a web developer off and on (admittedly mostly off) for a long time.
