Chat Reminders - Getting Started Guide
TL;DR: Reminder lets you snooze a chat so you can come back to it later. Just pick a time, anything from 1 minute to a specific date, and Beeper will bring the chat back to your Inbox with a reminder tag when it’s time to follow up.
What Chat Reminders Does
Chat Reminder gives you the peace of mind that if you're not ready to respond to a message or have to follow up with someone at a later time, you can mark the chat in question as a reminder and select the time that fits your need. From one minute to the date and time you choose, once marked as a reminder, the chat will come up to Inbox with a Reminder indicator.
How to Use It (By Platform)

- Right-click the chat in question.
- Select Remind Me.
- Choose from the options or make a Custom reminder.
What you’ll notice:
- On Beeper Desktop → Gear (Settings) → General, you can enable “Archive after setting reminder on chat”. Once the time of the reminder comes up, the chat will move to the Inbox.
- Keep in mind that if you set the reminder with the “Until a reply” option enabled, you might receive the chat in Inbox before if you receive a new message to the chat. There's an option to receive the reminder at the time you choose; click "Regardless".

Having Issues?
If Reminders aren't working as expected, please double-check that you are on +Beeper Plus or ++Beeper Plus Plus. If your paid subscription is enabled and active, and it's still not working, please grab screenshots and screen recordings of the behavior and attach them to a report from the app in question.
