Remind me about a message

Be reminded about any message at a time you choose, and keep track of what is due in your own Reminders list.

  1. On the message, press More (or press and hold it on a phone) and choose Remind me.
  2. Choose In 20 minutes, In 1 hour, In 3 hours, Tomorrow at 9:00 or Next Monday at 9:00, or pick a day and time and press Set.
  3. Add a note for yourself first if the message alone will not remind you why.

Once it is set, a line under the message says when, such as Reminding you Mon, 19 Oct, 09:00, with Change and Cancel, and a small alarm clock sits beside the message’s time, the way a pin does. It turns red when the reminder is due; press it to change the time. Only you see either. Choosing Remind me on the same message again changes the time rather than adding a second reminder.

The Remind me window about Meera at Sundaram Textiles wanting the website demo on Monday, with four quick choices each showing the time it will ring, a box to pick a time, and a box for a note.
Each choice shows exactly when it will ring.

When it is time

  • JAI CRM open: a ring and a note in the corner, on whatever page you are on. It keeps ringing until you answer it, unless you chose a short chime in Charcha settings. It says what the reminder is about and which chat it is in. Snooze for 5, 10, 20, 30 or 40 minutes with one press; Pick a time opens a day and time right in the note, with Set; or press Done. Click the words to go to the message.
  • JAI CRM closed: the browser’s notification, if you turned on Push to this browser (see Notifications).
  • The bell gets a line too, so nothing is lost if you were away.
  • Ring in the browser off, or a status that pauses notifications: the note and the bell, without the sound.
A reminder note reading Reminder, Chat with Arjun Nair: Call Meera at Sundaram Textiles to confirm Monday's demo. Below it, Snooze for with five equal buttons, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 min, then Pick a time and Done.
Snooze, an exact time or Done, all in the note.

  • Each reminder says what it is about and which chat it is in: Chat with Arjun Nair, or In #sales.
  • Press the alarm clock on a reminder to move it: 10, 15, 30 or 45 minutes, 1 hour, or Pick a time for a day and time, set right there in the list.
