Questions this answers

Can the Planner remind me to do something?
Yes. When you add or edit a planner item you can ask for a reminder in IMVICA, an email, or both, and choose whether it arrives on the day, a day before, three days before or a week before. In-app reminders appear in your notifications, and you can turn email off at any time on the Reminders page.
How do I set myself a reminder?
Open Reminders from the account menu and press New reminder. Say what it is for, pick a date and time, and choose whether it happens once or repeats every day, week or month.
Can a reminder repeat, for example every Tuesday?
Yes. When you set it up, choose Repeat weekly and a Tuesday start date. You can also repeat every few days, weeks or months, add a stop date, and pause it at any time.
Where do my reminders show up?
Under the bell in the top bar, and on the Notifications page. If you ticked email, they arrive in your inbox too, within about 15 minutes of the time you chose.
