An example given to try is "Remember Pat's wife's name is Christine." Why aren't contacts for Christine and Pat created with information in each stating that they are married?
I'd like to be able to set up multiple reminders for an event. I'd like a reminder by email 2 hours before the event. And I'd like another reminder by sms message 15 minutes before the event.
I've noticed over the past several weeks that, whenever I edit an existing item through the web interface, change the date, and set a new reminder time "X minutes before," the reminder is interpreted as minutes before NOW, not before event.
The end result is threefold:
1. I instantly receive an email reminder
2. Reviewing the item shows date: what I set, reminder: X minutes ago (not X minutes before date)
3. I (obviously) never receive a reminder X minutes before the actual date.
Right now, I have no idea what Sandy does when she receives a snooze through twitter. She seems to be updating the latest reminder she sent. But then I am missing the ability to snooze or easily update a reminder for a previous task.
When I send "snooze 10 for one hour", I would expect her to remind me again for the #10 task in one hour from now, not to change the description of the latest task to "10"!!! (that's what happens)
Is it possible, to have the following option in settings:
when Sandy sends me a reminder via email,
please include a text-only version of the full 'context' in the reminder email.
O Yes
O No
Thus, within the full transcript of the 'reminder-email', the full transcript of any email communications relevant to that 'sandy-entry' would be right there at hand. This way, relevant hyperlinks, phone numbers, peoples names to remember, etc. would be included further downstream in the email, right when you need them (exactly when you scheduled yourself a reminder)
This would have the advantage of being VERY handy for anyone using an iPhone / BlackBerry / other-device to access email on their phone, because such devices automatically try to convert such data into one-click links to make a phone call, compose an email, or call up a webpage.
I set up a reminder for a daily activity using the @daily tag yesterday, and today I got 38 reminders, from now until late August all at the same time. Note that I am receiving the reminders via Twitter only - and one could think that this is a Twitter problem, BUT the reminder specifies different dates for each reminder, all the way into late August.
Note that I had created the same reminder about a month ago, and it was sending the reminders just fine, until it stopped sending me anything last week. I checked the calendar online, and the reminder was no longer in my list. Therefore, I created a new reminder - for which I received 38 notifications today.
I just scheduled a bunch of events with sandy and noticed the following little quirk in time parsing:
* r Do something Monday 4:30-5pm
That works just fine.. But change it to
* r Do something Monday 4-4:30pm
And it schedules the event at 4:00, and adds "-4:30pm" to the event title and ignores it. Saying 4:00-4:30pm works just fine, so it's something with the start being only the hour for the end being hour & minutes.
Is there a widget for adding reminders? I've seen the widget for viewing your daily digest but what would be really useful is to be able to add reminders, appointments, etc. right from the widget.
I know I could just send an email but I'm in my iGoogle page already so it would be nice to add from there.
Why doesn't Sandy seem to recognize some messages? From the Sandy website, twitter, and thwirl, I say things like "d s r call restaurant in 1.5 hours @todo" and she doesn't recognize it. I've noticed other words that seem to confuse her too.
Here was I wanting to pose to my kids that (1) Dad's alll high tech and (2) Dad can actually remember to do something!! And Sandy let me down :-(
Why? Because I sent in reminder for "tomorrow" and it got all nicely set up, but I had changed my "remind me" setting to 7 days before as I like plenty of warning for things. However, of course, this means my "tomorrow" reminder was "due" 6 days ago and so has disappeared into the ether :-(
Would it not be worth some "intelligence" being applied to reminders so that if its less than the default reminder time it either asks you to stipulate the reminder time or at least warns you that you won't be reminded.
Might be nice to have a few reminder 7 days, 3 days, 1 hour and 30 mins before so you get advanced warning to e.g. go buy present then further warnings to take it round ;-)
Can I turn off any contact that doesn't pertain to an actual reminder. The periodic random emails about nothing have a 'crying wolf' / junk-mail effect that diminishes my ability to take my important reminders seriously. Thx
can sandy send freinds SMS reminders as well as emails? It would be great if when we bring Sandy in on an email conversation that she is able to look up the participants cell phones, or querry them if they want to be included and send them an sms message reminder along with the email reminder.
I use Google Calendar for all my appointments and want to keep it that way. I want Sandy for To Do's, reminders, and the daily digest, but I want my appointments in my daily digest. So I have to find some way for Google Calendar to tell Sandy about the appointments. Now you should see the network of listservs and email forwarding I have set up to try to get this to work, unfortunately I have been unsuccessful.
I am very close to getting this to work The set up [tangled web] I have works like this:
1)The gCal notification is sent to my gmail
2)gmail filters those out and forwards to yahoo group
3)yahoo group changes the 'from' tag to .....-owner @ yahoogroups.com
4)the yahoo group sends it to an alumni email forwarding service i have through my university (because yahoo groups said anything @ googlegroups.com isn't a valid email address)
5)Alumni forwarding service forwards it to a google group (so "remind" can be prepended to the subject)
6)the google group sends it to Sandy
7)whew
The problem is that for some reason the email from Sandy to confirm the secondary address (of the yahoo group owner) isn't getting through. I tried sending email from other accounts to the .....-owner @ yahoogroups.com address and they got through. Sandy's doesn't though :(
So I had an idea to make it easy to get gCal events to Sandy:
If Sandy would accept emails from "calendar-notification @ google.com" (without having to verify), then we would be able to to forward google calendar notifications sent to our gmail to Sandy and she would accept them. (She also would have to accept the "[Reminder]" tag that is on the front of those emails instead of the usual "r" or "remind".
So what do you say? Any way we can make this happen?
It would be neat if Sandy could remind me of contact information when reminding me about things relating to specific contacts... Perhaps better explained by example:
"Remember Jon Doe wants to meet on monday"
When Sandy reminds me on monday, she would also send me Jon Doe's contact information (if available), as if I had sent a "Lookup Jon Doe". Maybe this would need a special syntax, or Sandy could intelligently find contacts in commands like the one above.
Is there any way to use jott to create reminders for groups in Sandy? For instance, I want to create a shared reminder in Sandy with my team-mates. they are already contacts in the sandy interface and we can create shared items through e-mail. I can't seem to figure out a way to make this work from Jott.
The daily digest does not include the "snoozed" items. So if I "snooze" a reminder to remind me at a later date, when that date happens, I get the individual e-mail reminder, but not in the daily digest.
I'm a new Sandy user and very excited overall. Sandy looks great. There are a couple of very annoying gotchas, though.
I use Gmail (for my own domain, but this shouldn't matter).
I use my inbox as my todo list, so Sandy is a great fit.
If someone sends me a message, sometimes I'll ask Sandy to remind me later to deal with it and archive the conversation.
But the reminder from Sandy originates a new thread, so I have to search for the old message.
This is all the more infuriating because Sandy in general is a girl smart about email. When she confirms my request, she knows to use the Reply button and not an entirely new Compose action.
Please fix this aspect of Sandy's email etiquette. When she's reminding me of something, it needs to be in reply to my message that originated the reminder. Because (i) it's, uh, in reply to it, and because (ii) if my message was part of a thread, Sandy's reminder will fit into the right context, making it easy for me to take my action, which might well involve sending another message in this thread, this time to the human on the other end.
Sandy already knows that replying to a message means setting In-Reply-To, References, and Subject fields right.
I would like to make a reminder for the last day of every month. Is there any way of doing that without missing the months that have less than 31 days?
