# Schedule a reminder

## Step 1 - Click On Create or Embed&#x20;

With dotNotify, every message you create can become a reminder. Firstly, choose whether you want to create a standard reminder message, or an embed style reminder message.

We have other guides on the entire process of [creating standard messages](../dashboard-overview/your-dashboard) and [creating embed style messages](broken-reference). So, at this stage you would create your message and fill out the fields you want to include.

## Step 2 - Choose A Start Date & Time

Once you have finished your message creation, you can now schedule when you would like your reminder to start, and at what time you would like it be delivered. The "Schedule for" section becomes your start date. You can also choose a timezone.

Then choose the channel you want your reminder to be delivered too.

## Step 3 - Choose The Reminder Option

After selecting your channel you will see an option to turn your message or embed into a reminder/recurring message.

Check the box that says _**"Setup reminder message?"**_. This will open up our reminder scheduling settings, and frequency options. You can now choose how often you want this message to be delivered.

## Step 4 - Set An End Date

Once you have chosen your reminder frequency you can set an end date. This will be the date in which your reminder will stop sending. Once you have selected an end date, click schedule and you are done. Your reminder will now be available on your dashboard to view and manage.
