# Reminders

A reminder posts a message into a conversation on a schedule. Everyone gets notified,
everyone answers when it suits them, and the recurring update happens without anyone
having to start it.

This is what replaces the standing meeting. Cancelling a meeting is easy; the hard part is
that the calendar invite was the nudge. A reminder is the nudge.

## Setting one up

- **In a new conversation** — tap **Reminders** at the top of the conversation information
  block.
- **In an existing conversation** — tap the conversation name to open Settings, scroll to
  **Reminders**, and create one there.

Write the prompt you want posted, then choose when it repeats: **daily**, **on particular
days of the week**, or **monthly on a given date**, at a time you set.

You can edit or delete a reminder later from the same place.

## What teams replace with them

| Instead of | Reminder | When |
|---|---|---|
| Daily stand-up | "What are you working on today?" | Every morning at 9am |
| Weekly 1:1 | "How are you? Wins, blockers, and what do you need from me?" | Friday afternoon |
| Weekly kickoff | "What do you want to accomplish this week?" | Monday at 8am |
| Week review | "What got done this week, and what's carrying over?" | Friday at 4pm |
| Client check-in | "Project status update." | The 15th of each month |

Team rituals work too: Monday motivation, Friday wins, end-of-month reflections.

## Pair them with engagement

A reminder is the nudge; [engagement stats](https://help.carbonvoice.app/messages/read-receipts) are the
accountability. Together they cover what the meeting was actually providing.
