💡 Template for setting a reminder:
@Remind [what] [when]

Simply set a reminder for yourself by messaging the bot [what] [when]

Set a personal reminder in a 1-on-1 chat with the bot

Once a reminder occurs you can snooze (or re-snooze) it if you can't address it immediately.

You can also set reminders in a group chat or in a channel. Keep in mind that all participants of that conversation will be able to see them. Add the bot to the conversation and mention it using @:
@Remind [what] [when]

💡 When you press the @ key Teams lets you search for the person you want to mention. Please note that the user must be a member of the current chat or channel.

Remind a coworker

Please note: If the chat feature is disabled in your version of Teams, the bot will not be able to send a reminder to the user.

Remind yourself about any Teams message Remind will send you a reminder about the message at the time of your choosing and no one else in your team will be able to see it.(1) Click the ⋯ icon while hovering over a message
(2) Select More actions > Remind me about this
(3) Choose a timeframe from the list or select Custom to set your ownOnce the reminder occurs you can snooze (or re-snooze) it if you can't address it immediately.

OR

Remind yourself about a channel conversation by replying to it:
@Remind myself [what] [when] or simply @Remind myself [when]

Remind yourself about a channel conversation. Please note: The bot will confirm the reminder in the 1-on-1 chat, not in the channel.

✍️ Format a reminder

💡 Tips for common syntax problems:
Keep what before when
Keep date and time together
Use "" to make it easier for the bot to parse your message
"update the project schedule at 10:15am" tomorrow at 10am

* Following these tips is optional but the bot will have an easier time understanding your input

📅 Time and date formats

The bot understands a variety of date and time formats - some examples are shown below

If you don’t include a time of day, Remind will default to 9:00am on the day or date you choose. You can change the default time on the settings page in the "Reminders" tab.

🌏 Time zones

Remind knows your current time zone and takes Daylight Savings Time (DST) into account. If you set a reminder in a chat or channel and your team members are in a different time zone you might need to account for the time difference when setting your reminder. There are two ways to achieve this:

@Remind "this is a reminder" at 9am GMTor

@Remind "this is a reminder" at 2:30pm IST

Learn more about time zone support

🚨 The bot will always confirm the reminder using your current device time. Carefully review the time and date.

♻ Recurring reminders

Here are some ways to format the [when] portion of a recurring reminder for yourself, a group chat or a channel:

You can also set recurring reminders for your team members by mentioning them:

• Even more examples for recurring reminders

🛠️ Manage your reminders

Type @Remind list to view a list of your upcoming, past, or incomplete reminders.

💡 Recurring reminders cannot be completed, only deleted or paused/resumed.

You can also manage your reminders and change settings like the default time in the Reminders tab of the bot

Reminders for MS Teams

Changelog

A list of Remind updates by date
If you encounter any issues with Remind, please do not hesitate to get in touch!

Aug 2023

- Added a search option to the Reminders tab. (Thanks for the feedback, Allyson!)

Jul 2023

- Added a configuration option per channel so that team owners can now allow channel members to set reminders without announcing them ("silent reminders").
- Setting a reminder on a message now also works in "New Teams" (Thanks for the feedback, Ian!)

May 2023

- Added a workaround for pressing "View" on reminders set on conversation replies in channels. There currently seems to be a navigation issue in Teams after the new channel experience has been introduced. (Thanks for the report, Marik!)

Dec 2022

Released version 1.2.5
- Remind can now be purchased through Microsoft and the Teams admin center. Please press "Get started" on the AppSource listing to start the 30 day free trial.

Nov 2022

- Fixed a bug that could occur when setting a reminder for multiple people in a group chat or channel. (Thank you so much for the bug report, Jerry!)
- When you set a reminder in a group chat or channel and activate the "announce" option, the new reminder will be announced to all other conversation members. If you then delete the reminder before it has occurred, the announcement will now be removed as well.
Released version 1.2.4
- You can now add Remind to Outlook or Office so that you don't have to switch to Teams to set a reminder. Please note that this currently only works for the beta channel version ("targeted release" in release preferences of Microsoft 365 admin center) of Outlook/Office for Windows and web.

Oct 2022

- Reminders on messages can now be edited (Yes, finally! Thanks to everybody who got in touch about this.)
- One-off group chat and channel reminders can now be completed. For recurring reminders, users can mark each occurrence as completed. A log is kept in the Reminders tab, so you can look up the date and time when a reminder was marked as complete as well as the user who completed it.
- When you set a new channel reminder and edit it within 15 minutes, the original channel announcement gets now updated. This avoids spamming the channel with tweaks to your reminder.

Sep 2022

- Teams on Android and iOS has an issue when setting reminders on messages in group chats. Added workarounds (Thanks for the bug reports, Tracey and Sandy!)
- Re-enabled cards with buttons for reminders in group chats and channels. Added a workaround to trigger the correct notification on iOS for these reminders.

Aug 2022

- Added a setting to set the default date to today in the scheduling interface. Please remember to press the save button at the bottom of the page. (Thanks for the feedback, Will!)

Jul 2022

- Fixed a serious bug when editing past reminders (Thank you so much for the bug report Sandy!)
- You can now set a reminder on a message on iOS as well when you long press any Teams message and swipe up to see the "Remind me about this" action. Please make sure you have updated to the latest Teams iOS version (>= 4.11.0).

May 2022

- Past and incomplete reminders can now be edited so you don't have to re-create them.

April 2022

- Added an option to only remind certain users when setting a reminder in the scheduling interface. It is equivalent to @mentioning users (@Remind @User1 @User2 ...) in a group chat or channel post and the users will receive the reminder directly from the bot in the 1:1 chat. Please update to the latest version of Teams to use this feature.

March 2022

- Added a "View all active reminders" option in addition to "upcoming" and "recurring" in the "Reminders" tab.

- Added a setting to not store a message preview when setting a reminder on a message. This can be useful when you work in sensitive areas like legal or medical, the app will then show a generic reminder without message preview.

February 2022

- Implemented a solution for private channel reminders. Since Microsoft still does not support bots in private channels this works by sending an email to the channel's email address. Please follow the instructions if you would like to try this feature.

- In the latest version of the Teams Android app you can now set reminders on messages by pressing a message and then swiping up to see the "Remind me about this" option. iOS support should follow soon.

- Added a setting to disable reminder confirmations in the 1:1 chat with the bot. Please make sure you are familiar with the bot syntax before disabling confirmations.

Please press "Save settings" at the bottom of the page after changing any settings.

December 2021

- Added support for formatting reminders set in the Reminders tab (bold, italic, lists and links)

- Changed the reminder formatting in group chats and channels so that users get the reminder text in the notification on their smartphone. This is a temporary workaround until notifications work better on Teams mobile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to buy a seat for every person in my organisation?
A: No, you only need to buy seats for users who
(1) set reminders
and
(2) need more reminders than are included in the free plan.Q: What happens if I hit the reminder limit on the free plan?
A: You can upgrade to a paid plan or you can delete an old reminder to stay inside the limits of the free plan. Example: You are on the free plan and already have 2 recurring personal reminders. To set another one and stay on the free plan, delete or pause an existing recurring personal reminder.Q: Do I need to purchase all seats on the same subscription?
A: No, your organisation can have multiple subscriptions. Example: Your organisation requires 20 seats. You could have 1 subscription with 20 seats, 5 subscriptions with 4 seats each or 20 subscriptions with 1 seat each. Any combination is possible but having fewer subscriptions will make things easier to manage for you.Q: How can I assign users to a subscription with multiple seats?
A: After you have purchased a subscription you will see a "Manage users" button on the subscription page that lets you search for users to assign to the subscription. Alternatively there is a subscription code along with a special link displayed on the subscription page, simply forward this link to the users you would like to use a seat on the subscription. The link opens their Teams client and automatically assigns a seat on the subscription.Q: Can I change the number of seats once I have purchased a subscription?
A: Yes, you can change the number of seats for a subscription at any time by clicking "Manage subscription" on the subscription page. Please note: If you reduce the total number of seats on the subscription below the number of already assigned seats, users will be downgraded to the free plan. Example: You have a subscription with 10 seats and all seats are assigned to users. If you reduce the number of seats to 8, the 2 users that were most recently assigned a seat will be downgraded to the free plan.Q: How do I cancel?
A: You can cancel anytime by simply clicking "Manage subscription" on the subscription page. The cancelation will be effective immediately. Please note: All seats on your subscription will be downgraded to the free plan.Q: I require different billing intervals, purchase order, etc.
A: Please get in touch, thank you!Q: What if I have more questions?
No problem, please get in touch, thank you!

Many companies say they take security seriously. In our case, we’d like to demonstrate this with concrete information.

Employee Access
- Wherever possible, we use two factor authentication (2FA) to restrict access to our IT infrastructure and to customer data.
- Each team member is supplied with a password manager application to ensure that we all use strong, unique passwords for each service we use.
- When an individual ceases working with us, we revoke their access to all services.Infrastructure
- Hosted at Azure West Europe (Netherlands).
- Our database uses encryption at rest.
- Our web application only accepts and transmits traffic over HTTPS.
- We regularly check our server logs for suspicious activity.Backups
Your data is safe with us. We take frequent backups and regularly ensure that a recent backup can be restored. Access to backups is guarded with a combination of 2FA, password managers, encryption at rest, and tight access rules.Credit Card Data
At no time do we store your credit card details on our servers. Our payment processor, Stripe, handles payment processing on our behalf. Stripe ensures that all relevant compliance, such as PCI, is met.None of our staff, including management, have access to your credit card info.Got questions about our security?

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I am receiving the error "app not found" when trying to install /
I can't find the Remind app when searching in the Teams app store
A: An admin of your organisation has most likely deactivated the ability of Teams users to install apps. The Teams admin has multiple settings available to limit the ability to install apps.

💡 Please don't leave a negative review if you weren't able to install the app. Please consider contacting your admin instead. Thank you! 🙏

Q: The app is enabled but I still can't install it / My Teams is behaving weirdly after adding your app / Your app crashed my Teams
A: Teams caches data and settings aggressively and sometimes things break. Please clear the Teams client cache, this procedure helps with a lot of different issues.

Q: I have purchased this app through Teams/the Teams admin backend but my subscription is not active
A: On the last screen of the purchase process there is a button "Setup your account" which is easy to miss. Please open your Microsoft subscriptions management, press Remind and then press "Setup account" on top. This will open the landing page where you can activate your trial subscription.

Q: I have purchased this app through Azure but my subscription is not active
A: You need to wait until the "configure account now" button becomes active, press it and activate your subscription on the landing page. Alternatively, you can open the "Saas" page in the Azure portal later on and activate your trial there by pressing Remind and then "configure account now".

Q: I have purchased this app through Microsoft and activated the subscription, how do I assign users?
A: Please log into the app's landing page as an admin.

Q: I have purchased this app through Microsoft, activated the subscription and assigned users. Why does the Teams admin center show zero user licenses?
A: Remind was released before Microsoft introduced the user assignment in the Teams admin center and still uses the old way of managing users, where every app manages user assignment on its landing page.

Q: How do I add this bot to a group chat or channel? / How do I set a reminder for other users?
A: Please follow these instructions

Q: Can I add this bot to a private channel?
A: Microsoft currently does not support adding bots to private channels, but there is a workaround where the reminders are sent to the private channel via the channel's email address. Please follow the instructions here: https://teamsreminder.app/#private-channel-reminders

Q: Which data is collected by the app and is shared with 3rd party services?
A: No data is shared with 3rd party services, except: When you decide to purchase a license outside of Microsoft, your name and email address is shared with our credit card payments processor (Stripe) to facilitate the payment. For a detailed overview of the data that is collected by the app, please visit the section "Gathering of personally identifying information" in the privacy policy.

Q: Why do I have to login when viewing the Reminders tab for the first time?
A: All tabs are public websites embedded into Teams. Without authentication it might be possible for malicious actors to view or manipulate your data. Even though the exact URL of your tab might be impossible to guess, it is still a public website. This is why Microsoft recommends protecting tabs with Microsoft single sign-on (SSO) authentication. During the first authentication with Remind, Teams will display this standardized SSO popup:

You only need to consent once and will not be asked again.

Q: I changed the time zone on my device and when I type a reminder now the time is wrong.
A: This is a long standing issue with the Teams client. After the device's time zone has been changed the bot still receives the old time zone, which causes this issue. The workaround is to restart the Teams client. Really sorry for the inconvenience 🙏

Q: I have set a reminder on a message but never received it.
A: Please make sure to unblock the bot.

Q: I don't receive reminder notifications on Teams for Android
A: Click here for Microsoft's Teams Android notification howto

Q: I want the reminder to show a custom popup/play a custom ringtone/flash the screen/etc.
A: Unfortunately the bot can not control how Teams shows notifications, this is entirely dependent on your Teams settings. You can change the notification settings by clicking your user avatar in the top right corner, then select "Settings", then "Notifications". Click here for Microsoft's latest notification howto

Q: I don't get a reminder popup notification while I'm on a call in Teams.
A: Whether Teams shows a notification popup during meetings depends on your notification settings (see above). You can add Remind to the list of priority access users in your Teams settings: Settings -> Privacy.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Moonbear Ventures collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Moonbear Ventures' purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Moonbear Ventures' visitors use its website. From time to time, Moonbear Ventures may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.Moonbear Ventures also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Moonbear Ventures does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below. We may also collect and use IP addresses to block users who violated our Terms of Service.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

All information that is collected is encrypted in transit and at rest. Overview of collected information and whether or not it is stored:

In our app:

Summary: Only if you decide to go for a subscription some of your data is shared with our payments processor (Stripe) to facilitate the payment.

(1) Data that is collected by the app and stored and not sent to any third parties

When you set a reminder
- The reminder text that you set
- Date and time information for when the reminder should occur
- Your name (your name is transmitted by Teams and the app stores it as part of your user identity. The name is used when reminders are listed, for example "User A set a reminder for this group chat", "User A set a reminder for user B", etc.)
- When you set a reminder for someone else by @ mentioning them, the app tries to get the name for this user so that it can be displayed in the list of reminders.
- If you set the reminder in a channel, the names of the team and channel are stored to show them in your list of reminders.When you set a reminder on a message by hovering over it and clicking the ellipsis (⋯)
- The name of the user that sent the message (displayed in your list of reminders, for example "A message from user B". This only works if the bot is part of the group chat or channel where the original message was sent).
- Part of the message, so that it can be displayed as a preview.

(2) Data that is collected by the app and not stored and not sent to third parties

The "Reminders" tab has an admin option, where the Microsoft admin of an organization can browse all public reminders in the organisation (and delete them, if necessary). This option accesses the employee records of the organization so that the admin can search for users and requires admin permission. This data is not stored or cached and is accessed for every search request. Usage of this feature is entirely optional.

(3) Data that is collected by the app and not stored but sent to third parties

If you decide to go for a subscription the app will ask you for the following information and share it with our payments processor (stripe.com) to facilitate the payment:
- Your email address so that you can receive a receipt
- Your name
- Your credit card detailsThe app does not see your credit card details at all, the form is provided by the credit card processor stripe.com, which provides the PCI compatible handling of card data. They will also store your name and email address and send you your receipt. The invoice you can download after you have subscribed comes from their server as well.

Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Moonbear Ventures discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Moonbear Ventures believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of 88 Ventures, third parties or the public at large.

🌏 Remind time zone support

Your team members are in a different time zone? Use their time zone when creating a reminder.

Example: You are in London (UTC+0) and want to schedule a reminder for 9am. Your team members work in Indian Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30).

@Remind "submit project update" at 2:30pm IST

Below is the list of time zones supported by Remind:

Reminders for MS Teams

Remind in private channels

💡 Setting reminders in private channels is currently a beta feature. Since Microsoft still does not support adding bots to private channels you need to add the tab instead (instructions below). The reminder will then be delivered via email to the private channel's email address when it occurs. Please note that the setup process is a bit more involved and there are several caveats, listed at the bottom of this page. You need to be a team owner to complete the setup.
If you have any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Thank you 🙏

Please press the + symbol on top of the private channel, search for Remind, select it and press "Add".

The tab will load and you will see that the "Set reminder" button is disabled because the channel's email address has not been set yet.

As a team owner: Select the three dots next to the channel name and select "Get email address". Select "advanced settings" and select either "Anyone can send to this channel" or add the teamsreminder.app domain to the list of allowed senders. Press "Save".

⚠️ If you don't see the "Channel email address" input field you are not the team's owner. To check this, please select the three dots next to the team name ("Public test team" in the screenshot above) and select "Manage team". Your user needs to be listed in the list of owners.

Press the "Set a reminder" button in the tab and set a test reminder for a few minutes into the future (the default date is tomorrow so you have to adjust the date). Please note that the message might take a few seconds longer to show up since email delivery is not instant.

⚠️ Troubleshooting: If the reminder does not occur it could be for the following reasons:
- The "Get address for channel" functionality in Teams includes an option to filter which senders are allowed to send email to the channel. Please allow the teamsreminder.app domain here.

- If delivery still fails, it could be that your Teams admin has disabled this functionality. Please consider contacting them.
- You can do a quick test for delivery issues by sending a test email to the channel address using your usual email client. If your Teams admin has disabled this functionality, you will receive an error reply.

- To ensure Teams shows a popup notification when the reminder occurs please activate channel notifications by clicking the three dots next to the channel > Channel notifications > Custom and setting "Banner and feed" for "All new posts".

- To uninstall Remind from a private channel please remove the tab.
- If you would like to temporarily disable Remind for a private channel please set the channel email address field to an empty value.
- The "Get email address for channel" functionality in Teams includes an option for removing the email address from the channel. Remind will not be notified if this happens and reminders will be sent to the old address and not occur in the channel. You can get a new address from Teams and update the setting in the tab.
- The "Get email address for channel" functionality in Teams includes an option to filter which senders are allowed to send email to the channel. If you wish to set such a filter, please allow the sender domain teamsreminder.app so that reminders can occur in the channel.
- If email delivery fails the channel email address field will be set to an empty value automatically.
