# Use reminders

rApp admins create and manage reminders.

Use reminders to send emails for things like:

- Send an email to yourself two days before an assigned task is due
- Remind the entire team that the project finish date is in five days
- Send someone a reminder that a deadline has passed and a task is overdue

Additional conditions are available. For example, sending a reminder if the **Status** field is set to *Open*.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Reminders use calendar days, not business days.

For reports, reminders send a report of all records that meet the identified criteria. Reminders use the default report settings of the specific table. Reminders can only be sent to registered Quickbase users.
