You can set recurring reminders by including phrases such as every day, every Monday, every weekday or even every two weeks. Reminders are great for one-time, same-day notes to yourself, such as /remind me to ask Melissa about the product brief in two hours, but they can also be directed at a colleague’s username, a user group or a channel.

/remind me to check my Asana tasks at 09:15 every weekday.

/remind #leeds-office to clean out the fridge every Friday at 15:00.

/remind me to file expenses on the 1st of every month.

/remind me to ping about the Xanadu project in three hours.

The following phrases all work for setting reminders that will alert you when intended. Simply type /remind followed by what you want to be reminded of and when. It’s built off a subtle bit of functionality that we call a slash command, and it’s quite alright if you didn’t already know about it.

The solution to all of those problems in Slack is our reminder system. But what works for the small things? Things like remembering to ask a colleague about borrowing her USB flash drive when she gets into work tomorrow, picking that project brief back up once writer’s block subsides in a few hours, or reminding your whole team to post every morning about their projects for the day. Keeping tabs on our busy lives isn’t easy, and thankfully we have the luxury of calendar apps to track bigger events like meetings and special functions.
