Intro to reminders

Never forget anything with reminders!

Use reminders to quickly create smaller action items that don't require a task. You can create them for yourself or delegate them.

Reminders and your Inbox

In ClickUp 4.0, reminders are displayed in your Inbox and only exist in the Workspace you create them. In ClickUp 3.0, reminders are accessible from Home or Profiles and are connected to your account instead of a specific Workspace.

Reminders have a specific due date. When a reminder’s due date arrives, it will be displayed in your Inbox's Primary tab.

Unlike reminders, messages and comments that have been saved for Later will passively exist in your Inbox's Later tab until you manually clear them.

Legacy reminders can be recreated in ClickUp 4.0 from the My Work tab in My Tasks or your Profile. This is not currently a way to migrate legacy reminders.

Legacy reminders are connected to your account, not a specific Workspace.

See your reminders in ClickUp 3.0

In ClickUp 3.0, you can see all of your reminders in the My Work section of your Home or Profile.

They are also shown in the Agenda section of your Home or Profile if they are set to notify you at a specific time.

In ClickUp 3.0, reminders are connected to your account, not a specific Workspace. If you have multiple Workspaces, you will see your reminders on the Home page of each Workspace. If you need to create something for a specific Workspace, convert your reminder to a task instead.
