How to Set a Reminder in Slack

Use this interactive demo to learn how to create and manage reminders in Slack.

Quick summary

Slack's reminder feature lets you schedule alerts using the /remind command or the More actions menu on any message, so you never miss a follow-up. You can set a reminder for yourself or for a specific message at a custom time directly within Slack.


Steps

  1. Type the /remind command in any Slack message box to set a reminder.
  2. To be reminded about a specific message, hover over it and open More actions.
  3. Select Remind me about this and choose your preferred reminder time.
  4. Review how your scheduled reminders will appear in Slack once they are set.

📌 Why this matters

Slack's built-in reminder feature helps teams stay on top of important messages and deadlines without leaving the platform. By using the /remind slash command or the 'Remind me about this' option on any message, users can schedule timely follow-ups in seconds. This reduces missed action items and eliminates the need for external task management tools for simple reminders. For teams relying on Slack as their central communication hub, mastering reminders is a key productivity habit.
