How reminders work
When a task has a reminder enabled, Flowtask schedules a notification for the task’s due time. The moment that time arrives, an email is dispatched to the address associated with your Flowtask account. No mobile push notification or in-app alert is required — the email finds you wherever you are.Enabling a reminder
Open the task creation form or detail panel
Create a new task with
C, or click an existing task’s title to open its detail panel.Set a due date and time
Click the Due date field and choose a date. Then set a specific due time — for example,
9:00 AM. A timed reminder requires a time; toggling All day disables the reminder option.Toggle the Reminder switch
Flip the Reminder toggle to the on position. A confirmation indicator appears next to the field.
Reminders fire at the task’s exact due time. Make sure your due time is correct before saving.
Email notification
When the reminder fires, you receive an email containing:- Task title — so you know immediately which task is due
- “Due Now” indicator — a clear signal that this task needs your attention right now
- Complete button — a one-click button in the email that marks the task as complete without requiring you to open the app
Notification preferences
To manage your email notification settings, navigate to Settings → Notifications. From there you can:| Setting | Description |

Requirements
Before setting a reminder, make sure both of the following are true:- A due date is set — reminders cannot be scheduled without a due date.
- A specific due time is set — all-day tasks do not support timed reminders. If All day is toggled on, the Reminder option is unavailable.
