While most reminders will be sent to yourself via Slackbot, it’s a good idea to send them to team channels when you want to maintain a regular cadence on something. Gently nudge your team with channel reminders You can also set reminders to do things like invoice a client one month from today or replace the office water filter in three months. Set a personal reminder to buy a small gift two days before each member of your team’s birthday or work anniversary. The /remind command also works great for far-off, future events. And if you ever need to manage or check your reminders, simply type /remind list to see the full list. Once a reminder is set, you’ll get a Slackbot message saying so. You can set recurring reminders by including phrases like every day, every Monday, every weekday, or even every two weeks. Reminders are great for one-time, same-day notes to yourself, like /remind me to ask Melissa about the product brief in two hours, but they can also be directed at a coworker’s username, or a channel.
