Reminder Role

The Reminder role lets users set one-time or recurring reminders directly in Telegram.

How it works

Users create reminders with the /remind command. When the time comes, the bot sends the reminder message to the chat where it was created.

Time parsing

The /remind command supports both relative and absolute time formats:

Relative time

Specify a duration from now:

/remind 30m Check the oven
/remind 2h Team meeting
/remind 1d30m Submit report

Supported units: m (minutes), h (hours), d (days).

Absolute time

Specify an exact date and/or time:

/remind 14:00 Lunch with Alex
/remind 2026-04-15 09:00 Tax deadline

Times are interpreted in your configured timezone. Set it with /settimezone.

Recurring reminders

Add a recurrence pattern to create repeating reminders:

/remind 09:00 every day Daily standup
/remind 10:00 every monday Weekly review

Recurring reminders continue until cancelled.

Interactive mode

Send /remind with no arguments to start an interactive flow that guides you through setting the time, message, and optional recurrence step by step.

Managing reminders

  • /listreminders — See all your active reminders
  • /cancelreminder — Cancel a reminder by selecting it from a list

See the full Reminder commands reference for details.

tip

Make sure your timezone is set correctly with /settimezone so reminders fire at the right time.
