or just have a reminder day tag like @1day, @2day, @7day... All tags would be before the requested reminder and 90 days minimum should satisfy 90% of users. :-)

This feature was added in a recent update. See http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy...

You can now use a @reminder tag to tell Sandy when you want to be reminded. After the @reminder tag, put the date you want to be reminded. The date can be fixed (like June 20) or it can be relative to the date you want to remember. (use the word "before")

You can send a message to Sandy like this:
> Remind me that my father's birthday is on April 20th, @reminder three days before.

A comment on the question "Remind about time A at time B" in I want Sandy:

@Rael: I tried it too and it seems to be working, except in lists (multiple tasks in a single email). Is it possible that it does not work yet in that scenario?

@Aitese: you are asking Sandy to send multiple reminders for the same task, which does not seem to be supported at the moment. Maybe start a new discussion? – Olivier Gourment, on July 24, 2008 13:43

I just used this fir the first time with an actual upcoming meal, at first I exprerimented with the possibility of using the tag for multiple reminders:

Remind me about Cassie's meal at Ginny's in Bromley at 6pm 15th August @reminder 9pm 14th August @reminder 4pm 15th August

The outcome was totally borked:

I added these to your calendar:

#1 Fri, 15/8 6:00pm Cassie's meal at Ginny's in Bromley 4pm
- email reminder at 5:00pm
- tagged with @reminder

#2 Fri, 25/7 7:00am Cassie's meal at Ginny's in Bromley
- email reminder on Thu, 14/8 at 9:00pm
- tagged with @reminder

Maybe this IS possible but I'm doing it wrong? The idea was I needed to know to put some clothes out the night before, even shave perhaps as I usually trot off to work in the morning looking like a bum, but I still wanted reminding in the afternoon as I also rush out of the office like a kid at the end of school and would not get on the right route to the restaurant.

Is there a way to use multiple tags? I decided to tell Sandy to forget these first 2 and tried with just the evening reminder and the system works flawlessly, great work guys!

Hi Olivier. Sorry it took so long — sometimes this is the nature of these things and why we usually don't mention specifics about scheduling, etc. – Rael Dornfest, on July 24, 2008 06:32

This sounds promising. I am just wondering why it was said to be due 6 months ago? – Olivier Gourment, on July 24, 2008 02:04

I don't think it's fully documented anywhere.. But I know you can use
@reminder July 13 4:30pm (to specify exact times)
and
@reminder X hours prior (or any relative time like minutes or days)

Aitese replied on July 23, 2008 19:28 to the question "Remind about time A at time B" in I want Sandy:

That's brilliant!

What syntax works with this? Or is there a link to a help page?

i.e. @reminder at 3pm, @reminder on Sunday etc.

Yeraze replied on July 23, 2008 18:44 to the question "Remind about time A at time B" in I want Sandy:

One of the new features of Sandy is the "@reminder" tag, used like so

remind me to go to the dentist 8/24 10:30am @reminder 1 days prior

how about:

r dad's birthday july 4
*n july 1 at 11:00

or something like that? or @n...

you could even require that it be a date instead of 3 days from now or that kind of thing.

Any news on this?

has this functionality been added yet? One thing I'm doing is using sandy to remind me about a TV show that's coming up so that I can Tivo it. I can't tivo it until 2weeks before air time so I'd like to set a reminder for that show time then put a handy relative offset like 7 days before on it. thanks.

Nope, that's all there is. No additional syntax available for now. As far as I know Sandy's Helpers are currently working on expanding this functionality they way you described it in your post. Let's keep our fingers crossed it becomes available any time soon.
