1️⃣ What is the Reminder System?
The Reminder System is a built-in productivity and tracking engine that ensures no customer action is forgotten.
It allows users to:
-
Schedule reminders for clients
-
Track upcoming follow-ups
-
Assign reminders to themselves or team members
-
Edit, reschedule, or delete reminders instantly
-
View reminders by time (Today, Tomorrow, This Week)
-
Integrate reminders with automation and alerts
In simple terms:
It replaces sticky notes, memory-based follow-ups, and missed calls with a reliable system.
2️⃣ Why this system exists

1️⃣0️⃣ Timezone Safe by Design
One of the most important features.

Confusion in a global team
1️⃣1️⃣ Automation Integration
The Reminder System is automation-aware.
When a reminder is created:

This turns reminders into active workflow triggers, not passive notes.

If a reminder already exists → it updates

If not → it creates a new one
No duplicates.
No confusion.
Clean data.
