Schedule reminders from the inbox

Put a conversation back in front of you on a chosen day.

When someone says “ask me again in the autumn”, that is the moment to set a reminder. Otherwise it becomes a note somewhere else, and then it becomes nothing.

Adding one

From a member's profile, click Remind me. Choose one of the preset delays or set your own date.

A member's profile panel with a Remind me control expanded to offer In 1 day, In 3 days, In 1 week, In 1 month and Pick a date.
The highlighted Remind me control, with its preset delays and a Pick a date option.

You can also add one without opening the profile: hover over their row in the list and use the quick action, or set reminders for several people at once as a batch action.

Finding them again

The Reminders filter in the sidebar shows everyone with an active reminder.

The inbox sidebar with a Reminders entry under My network, between All members and Connections.
The Reminders filter, highlighted in the sidebar.

When a reminder comes due — or goes past due — two things happen:

  • A notification badge appears next to the filter
  • Those people are highlighted with a pale blue background in the list
A member list with a Reminder column showing dates, two rows carrying a due date highlighted.
Due dates show in the Reminder column at the right of each row.
The same list with a row shaded pale blue to mark a reminder that has come due.
A reminder that is due or overdue shades the whole row, so it finds you rather than waiting to be looked for.

So a due reminder finds you, rather than waiting to be looked for.

Changing or clearing one

Three ways, whichever suits where you are:

  • From the member's profile page
  • From their row in the member list
  • As a batch action across several people at once
A reminder control expanded over a member row, offering In 1 day, In 3 days, In 1 week, In 1 month, Pick a date and Remove reminder.
Reopening the control gives the same delays plus Remove reminder, highlighted at the foot.
The same profile panel reminder control, reopened on a member who already has a reminder set.
Reopening the highlighted control on a member who already has a reminder is how you change or clear it.
