There are two ways to add reminders. You can add a reminder manually from pages with context, or you can add a reminder in an automated way using a workflow action. We'll look at each method below.

Adding Reminders Manually

You can view your current reminders from anywhere in Rock by clicking the ti ti-bell icon. This is also where you'll go to add new reminders. You can add reminders from just about anywhere, all you need is a reminder type and a page with context.

To add a new reminder for an entity you need to be on a page that has context for that entity. There will also need to be a corresponding reminder type for the entity. For instance, a reminder of type "Hospital Visit" has an entity type of Person, so you can add that reminder from the Person Profile page. Similarly, you can add group reminders from the Group Viewer page when you have a group selected.

Adding Reminders via Workflow

Reminders can be added in an automated way using workflows. There's a workflow action type dedicated to this. You can find information about this action in our Workflow Actions documentation.
