From Mattermost v7.10, using Mattermost in a web browser or the desktop app, you can set 1 timed reminder on a post made in a channel, direct message, and group message. The ability to set up recurring reminders isn't supported.

Hover over the message you want to remember, select the **More** <img src={useBaseUrl('/img/ui/dots-horizontal_F01D8.svg')} alt="Use the More icon to access additional message options." className="theme-icon" /> option, then select **Remind**. Select a time period or enter a custom date and time. You'll receive a direct message at the time you've chosen, with the body of the message you wanted to be reminded about.

Once you've been reminded about a message, you won't receive another reminder unless you set one.

<Tip>

From Mattermost v10.3, you can also schedule reminder messages to be sent in the future. See the [schedule messages](/end-user-guide/collaborate/schedule-messages) documentation for details.
