The present disclosure is for systems and methods for asynchronous communication within a social networking system. Specifically, the present invention is for receiving capsuled data that is directed to a recipient. The capsuled data may be partially viewable by a recipient within the social networking system, but may not become fully viewable until a trigger condition is met. The systems and methods disclosed herein enable a determination of whether a trigger condition is met, and, if it is met, the capsuled data may be fully viewable by a recipient.
