Slack users can use Zapier to automate information transfers between their apps. With Zapier, an action on a particular app known as a trigger will influence another app. Its interactive screen sharing option facilitates support and troubleshooting functions. You can also use Zapier to set recurring reminders for essential tasks. Thanks to Slack Help center, I'm able to set a reminder on specific days but not an all week days. My question is: How to set a single reminder on all week day? Something like this: /remind @channel 'It's time for daily stand up!' Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday at 11:45am. Quarterly reminders to stay on the ball. For a once-a-quarter tasks such as performance reviews, or checking your quarterly team objectives and key results, you can set a reminder with a command like this: /remind me to check my quarterly OKRs in three months. This is also a good cadence to tidy up your user profile in Slack. 'Fire and forget' reminders are all well and good, but the best-laid breakfast plans sometimes fall through. Let's say a holiday closes the office during one of your team's scheduled breakfast clubs. Better cancel that reminder message! Your app can list all the messages that it currently has scheduled with the chat.scheduledMessages.list endpoint.

You probably already know that you can set reminders in Slack using a simple “/remind” command. Slack’s helpful AI, Slackbot, will recognize most casual language and convert it into an actionable reminder.

Turns into this:
But Slackbot goes deeper. You can set reminders for a specific date and time, so why not set up a recurring reminder? This is perfect for those daily tasks that fall by the wayside when you’re on a roll. Simply type a reminder with plain English and Slackbot will comply.
For example, type the following: “/remind me to eat pizza for lunch on Fridays” and Slackbot will show you this:
Now, you might not need help remembering to eat a slice of delicious pizza, but you’ve probably got something that you tend to forget. Try it out, play around with Slackbot to see how helpful it can be!
