What are Entry Reminders?

Entry Reminders let you schedule notifications for individual entries. Unlike Helper-level reminders that prompt you to log regularly, Entry Reminders are attached to specific records — perfect for follow-ups, deadlines, and time-sensitive items.
Entry Reminders are per-entry notifications, different from Helper reminders which are recurring prompts to log.

​
Use Cases

Task Follow-ups

“Remind me about this invoice in 3 days”
