New! Choose how you'll be reminded -- or not
Another one of two most-requested features that we think you'll really find useful!
Let Sandy know how you'd like her to remind you about something: via email, SMS/text, or Twitter, or not at all.
While you can turn email [http://iwantsandy.com/settings/email], mobile (text/SMS) [http://iwantsandy.com/settings/mobile], and Twitter [http://iwantsandy.com/settings/twitter] reminders on and off using your settings, you can also specify how you'd like Sandy to remind you on an item by item basis using these special reminder tags.
===== @email =====
Tag as item with @email and Sandy will email a reminder -- even if you've turned off email reminders. For example:
> remind me to pick up a pizza on the way home from work this evening @email
===== @sms =====
Tag as item with @sms and Sandy will send a text message to your mobile phone -- even if you've turned off mobile reminders. For example:
> remind me to call Susan during my commute at 7:30am @sms
You need to have already set up mobile reminders or Sandy won't know where to text you.
===== @twitter =====
Tag as item with @twitter and Sandy will send you a reminder tweet -- even if you've turned off Twitter reminders. For example:
> remind me to head downtown by 9:30am for my coffee date with Brad @twitter
You need to have already introduced Sandy to your Twitter self or she won't be able to send you a tweet.
===== @noreminder =====
Tag an item with @noreminder to make sure that Sandy knows not to remind you -- even if the item has a date or time. For example:
> Remember to mow the lawn on Sunday @noreminder
You can mix and match any of these reminder tags to have Sandy remind you in more than one way, for example:
> remind me to leave work at 5pm @email @twitter
> remind me about the Marketing meeting tomorrow 9-10am @sms @email
Note that reminder tags override all of your reminder settings; Sandy will *only* remind you by SMS/text if you tag something with @sms -- even if you have email and/or Twitter reminders turned on by default.
You'll find updated documentation in the Cheat sheet [http://iwantsandy.com/help/cheatsheet] and Guide book [http://iwantsandy.com/help/guide].

Inappropriate?Splendid splendid splendid!!!
Very flexible and very out of the way! Great work guys!
I’m thrilled with this new feature!
-
Inappropriate?Thanks, Forge42. And have a happy near year!
-
Inappropriate?Ok... one little request... could we make a shorthand for the @noreminder tag? That thing is a lot of key presses for an SMS.
I’m feeling guilty for asking for more features in a thread announcing a great new feature.

Inappropriate?It would be nice there were @nosms, @noemail and @notwitter tags too. So that you can just remove one type of notification from your default settings on a per reminder instance.
Thanks,
E.

Inappropriate?Is it possible for me to specify when Sandy sends me a reminder? By default I have it set for one hour, which I like, but I'd like to be able to say: "remind me to pick up dry cleaning at 2:45pm" (which would indicate that I should be reminded at 2:45pm) or "remember to drop off the tax forms at the office at 10am, remind me at 9am".
Something along those lines would be helpful. Any ideas?
