Reminders are custom messages that you can send to guests in your event.
You can set up reminders in Slack or email. They can be targeted based on guest RSVPs.
Setting up Slack reminders
Go to the Communications step when you're creating or editing an event.
Go to the Reminders section.
Select Yes to Slack reminders.
Click Add reminder.
Add a Title. This only appears in the editor to help you organize your reminders.
Add a Message. This is what recipients will see in Slack above the event information.
Schedule a time relative to the start time of the event or choose a specific date and time. Relative time can be set to minutes, hours, or days either before the event begins or after the event begins. This means if the event start time is changed, the scheduled send time will change accordingly.
Choose which guests you'd like to send the message to. You can choose anywhere between 1 to all statuses.
Click Create reminder to finish your reminder.
If you'd like to save your changes without sending the reminder yet, click Save.
If you'd like to save your changes and make your changes live, click Publish. Your reminder will be scheduled to be sent.

Frequently asked questions
What are the numbers next to the guest statuses?
If there are existing guests in your event with those statuses, we will display the number of guests the message may go out to.
What's the difference between the "scheduled" and "sent" tags?
Scheduled means that the reminder has been published and will be sent at the scheduled time.
Sent means the reminder has already been sent to recipients. It can no longer be edited.
If a reminder has neither tag, it means it hasn't been published yet and won't be sent.
