Setting up Instant Messenger Reminders

 

You can set up instant messenger reminders on the Remember The Milk mobile app or the desktop website. Setting up instant messenger reminders allows you to receive a flagged message on any device that is linked to your preferred instant messenger service. This makes sure you don't forget what's important to you.

You can receive reminders on as many instant messenger services as you like. For example, if you regularly use Slack and Google+ Hangouts, you can set up reminders for both services.

You can receive instant messenger reminders on the following services:

  • AIM

  • Gadu-Gadu

  • Google+ Hangouts

  • ICQ

  • Jabber (XMPP)

  • Yahoo

  • Microsoft Teams Free (Formerly Skype)

  • Slack
