# Reminder BotThis page shows you how to set up Reminder Bot using Cinny client app (available as an add-on component) for scheduling one-off or recurring reminder messages in a Matrix room.

The bot will keep track of the reminder and **send a message back to you** per pre-set schedules.

## Usage

To use the bot, start a chat with `@reminder:your-server.com`. You can also add the bot to any existing Matrix room by inviting it to the room (`/invite @reminder:your-server.com`).

**Make sure to replace `your-server.com` with your actual “base domain”.** Setting `your-server.com` or `example.com` does not work on your server!

You can check available commands along with general usage (listing reminders, canceling reminders, advanced usage, etc.) by sending `!help reminders` in the room.

### Example reminders

Example **one-off** reminders:

- `!remindme at 18:00; Pick up groceries`
- `!remindme tomorrow at 10:45; Head to that 11:00 meeting`
- `!remindme on 12th of September; Wish John a Happy Birthday`

Example **recurring** reminders:

- `!remindme every 1w; on Tuesday at 07:30; Take out the trash` (the first reminder will be next Tuesday at 07:30; it will repeat every 1 week after that)
- `!remindme every 1h; 1h; Do you want to take some rest?` (the first reminder will be after 1 hour; it will repeat every hour after that)
