Setting Reminders

Learn how to set, remove, or reschedule reminders in Mixmax to save time and stay organized with email follow-ups.

Updated over a week ago

Setting Reminders is available on all Mixmax plans, including the Free plan. Sequences are available on the Small Business plan and above. Check out our pricing page for more information.

You can set reminders to bring an email back to your inbox at a specific date and time if activity on the email is not recorded (such as if not read).

If you plan to follow up with a specific email, you can save even more time by utilizing Sequences instead. You can read more in our Sequences Overview.


Set a reminder when sending an email

In the top bar of your email (under the Subject line), click or hover over the Remind Me button, then set the time and trigger to activate your reminder:
