Adding a recurring reminder in Slack is good way to keep track of regular tasks or events.
Here’s a simple guide to setting it up:
-
Open Slack: Start by opening your Slack workspace on your desktop or mobile app.
-
Use the /remind Command: In any channel or direct message, you can use the
/remind
command to set up a reminder. This command is versatile and can be used for both one-time and recurring reminders. -
Format the Command: To create a recurring reminder, you need to format the command correctly. Here’s a basic structure:
/remind [who] [what] [when]
- Example:
/remind me to check emails every weekday at 9am
-
Specify the Frequency: For recurring reminders, you can specify the frequency using terms like "every day", "every weekday","every Monday", etc. This tells Slack how often to repeat the reminder.
-
Set the Time: Include the time you want the reminder to appear. Make sure to specify AM or PM if needed.
-
Confirm the Reminder: After you enter the command, Slack will confirm the reminder by displaying a message. This message will show the details of the reminder you’ve set.
-
Manage Reminders: If you need to view, edit, or delete your reminders, you can use the
/remind list
command. This will show all your active reminders, and you can manage them as needed.
By following these steps, you can easily set up recurring reminders in Slack to help you stay organized and on top of your tasks.
