Timer for channels
Add a timer - like an egg clock.
"I set the timer on this channel to 15minutes, and when its over, @channel gets a notification to stop their tasks and message the results here"
"Ok, everybody brainstorm this idea until the channel timer bleeps"
"Scrum meeting is delayed 30 minutes, I set up a timer so you dont miss the start of it"

There seems to be a "Remind" plugin which seems to do something like this and provides a bit more features than the `/echo` command.
Disclaimer: However, I didn't test it so far, and it does not seem to be too actively maintained. There's a bunch of open issues, and not much development activity.
But maybe it's a starting point if someone wants to help out.

This is already possible using the default slash command
"/echo {message} {delay in seconds}"
although converting your time period into seconds can be a pain. -

This would almost be better as a custom slash command, you could do something like
"/timer 30M 'Meeting Delayed'"

This would be useful for many members of my team that use the Pomodoro method.
