Nobody misses a deadline again

Add a reminder to a workflow, a step, a run, or a single run step. Time it relative to the start or the due date, and Manifestly reaches the right people on the channels they already use — email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, SMS, or web and mobile push.

Stop chasing people to finish their steps

Deadlines slip when they live in someone's head or a calendar nobody checks. Attach reminders to the work itself and Manifestly does the nudging — on schedule, to the right person, every single run.

Without reminders
  • Managers ping people one by one
  • A due date passes before anyone notices
  • Every run needs the nudges set up again
With reminders
  • Set the nudge once on the workflow
  • People hear about it before it's late
  • Every new run is reminded automatically

From set-up to on-time in three steps

1

Add the reminder

On a workflow or one of its steps, choose how far ahead to nudge and whether to count from the run's start date, its due date, or the step's own due date.

2

Start a run

Every run started from that workflow carries the reminder along. Manifestly works out the exact moment to send it from that run's real dates.

3

People get notified

When the time comes, the assignees and participants hear about it on their chosen channels — with a direct link straight to the run.

Time reminders relative to the work

You don't pick a fixed calendar date — you describe the timing once and it holds for every run. Give an amount, a unit, and what to measure from. Manifestly turns “3 days before this step is due” into a real send time using each run's own dates.

  • Count in minutes, hours, or days — before or after the moment you're measuring from.
  • Measure from the run start date, the run due date, or a step's own due date.
  • Day-based reminders can follow business days — skipping weekends and your holidays — or plain calendar days.

Reaches people where they already work

A reminder isn't much use if it sits in an app nobody has open. Manifestly delivers each one across the same channels it uses for the rest of your notifications — so it lands wherever a person actually pays attention.

Email Slack Microsoft Teams SMS Web & mobile push
  • Each person decides which channels reminders reach them on, from their own notification settings.
  • Runs connected to a Slack channel can post the reminder to the channel too, not only to individuals.

The right people, not everyone

Manifestly knows who a reminder is for from how the work is assigned, so nudges land with the people who actually own the step — not the whole account.

  • A reminder on a step goes to whoever it's assigned to — a person, or the members of an assigned role.
  • A reminder on a run reaches that run's participants.
  • Sending nudges by hand? Choose everyone, or only people who still have open steps.

Put a reminder wherever it belongs

Workflow Set it once on the template — every future run inherits it.
Step Nudge about one specific step, timed to its own due date.
Run Add a one-off reminder to a run already in progress.
Run step Set a specific date and time for a single step in a live run.

Sensible on its own, so it never becomes noise

Stops when the work is done

Once a step or run is completed, closed, or archived, its reminders quietly stop — no nagging about finished work.

Respects your calendar

Day-based reminders can count business days and skip the holidays on your account's business calendar.

Links straight to the work

Every reminder carries a direct link to the exact run and step, so acting on it is one click away.

Where reminders keep teams on track

Client onboarding

A hand-off step that can't slip while a new customer waits.

Remind the owner 3 business days before the step is due — and again on the day if it's still open.

Compliance & recurring reviews

Monthly and quarterly runs that absolutely have to close on time.

A run-level reminder two days before the due date nudges everyone who still has open steps.

Field & deadline-driven work

Deliverables and site visits scheduled from a start date.

Nudge the assignee a set number of hours after the run starts, delivered by SMS to their phone.

Reminders, answered

A workflow, an individual step of a workflow, a run that's already in progress, or a single step within a run. Reminders set on a workflow or its steps come along automatically to every run started from it.

Give an amount and a unit — minutes, hours, or days — and pick what to measure from: the run's start date, the run's due date, or (for a step) that step's own due date. Manifestly calculates the exact send time from each run's real dates. On a run step you can also set a specific date and time directly.

Email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, SMS, and web and mobile push. Each person controls which of these reminders reach them from their own notification settings, and runs linked to a Slack channel can also post the reminder to that channel.

It depends on where the reminder lives. A reminder on a step goes to the person (or role members) it's assigned to; a reminder on a run reaches that run's participants. When you send reminders by hand across runs, you can target everyone or only the people who still have open steps.

No. Once the step or run is completed, closed, or archived, its reminders stop automatically — so people are never nagged about work that's already done.

Yes. Reminders measured in days can count business days — skipping weekends and the holidays on your account's business calendar — or count plain calendar days, whichever you choose.
