Information Requests Due Date Reminders

Reminders in Projects help ensure timely completion of all assigned work — whether it’s document submissions, information responses, or task updates. Reminders are delivered through email and in-app notifications and are designed to keep both internal users and clients aware of upcoming or overdue actions.

There are two types of reminders within Projects:

  1. Automatic Due-Date–Based Reminders
  2. Manual (On-Demand) Reminders

Automatic Due-Date–Based Reminders

Automatic reminders are sent at predefined intervals before and after a due date to prompt users to complete pending actions. They are available for the following resources:

  • Document Requests
  • Information Requests
  • Tasks

Schedule

  • 10, 5, 3, and 1 day(s) before the due date.
  • Everyday reminders after the due date has passed (for up to 1 month).

Behaviour

  • Reminders are sent automatically to assignees of the request or task.
  • If a resource is reopened or restored, reminders are automatically recreated based on its future due date.
  • Each reminder includes:
    • Resource name and project name
    • Due date and remaining days
    • Clear call-to-action (e.g., “Upload Document” or “Complete Task”)

Delivery Channels

  • Email notifications (primary channel)

Example: A client has a pending document submission due on 15th October. They will automatically receive reminders on 5th, 10th, 12th, and 14th October — and weekly after that if still incomplete.

Manual (On-Demand) Reminders

Manual reminders can be triggered at any time by project owners or collaborators when additional follow-up is required.

To send a manual reminder:

  1. Open the relevant Request (Document or Information) or Task.
  2. Select the …(More Options) icon.
  3. Select Send Reminder.
  4. Confirm the recipient(s) — typically the assigned user or client.
  5. Click on Send.

The reminder is sent immediately via email, prompting the recipient to complete the pending item.

Notes:

  • Manual reminders do not affect or reset the automatic reminder schedule.
  • Each manual reminder is logged in the project’s Activity Log.
  • Only project owners and collaborators can send manual reminders.
