Set up an email reminder

Abstract

In Sitecore, you can schedule to send an email reminder to one or more users.

In Sitecore, you can schedule to send an email reminder to one or more users. This feature is particularly useful if you have time-sensitive content on your website. For example, if your website contains a special offer that runs out on a certain date, you can use the reminder to send yourself or others a reminder to remove the offer from the website on the appropriate day.

Note

To send emails to Sitecore users, for example, with reminders or content test results, an administrator must configure the email address to send emails from. In the \App_Config\Sitecore\Marketing.xDB\Sitecore.Analytics.config file, in the EmailReminder.EMailFromAddress setting, enter the email address that you want to use to send reminder email messages to Sitecore users.

To set a reminder:

  1. In the Content Editor, on the Review tab, in the Schedule group, click Reminder. In the list of options, select Set Reminder.

To clear the reminder that you have configured, on the Review tab, in the Schedule group, click Reminder, and then click Clear Reminder.

You can only configure one reminder for each item. If you already have one reminder set for an item, and want to set another reminder, you overwrite the earlier reminder.
