I need to set up a reminder in a channel, but this reminder should not send a notification to all the people in the channel but only to a particular subset.
I tried what shown below.
/reminder @user1 @user2 @user3 A message every 30 days
But when I verify it, slack add " after the first user, which tells me that the reminder would be sent only to the first user and not the others.
I will remind @user1 “@user2 @user3 A message” at 9AM Monday, April 1st.
Will slack send the notification only to user1 or to all them? (As mentioned).
Does Slack have the feature to send reminders to multiple users without disturbing the whole channel?
We don't want to create a separate channel.
To do this, add a form step that sends to every member of the team. People will see the in-channel reminder, prompting them to visit Slackbot to complete their self-review. In Slackbot, each team member will have a DM with a button to fill out the form.
Type /remind list in the message field and send the message to view a list of your upcoming, past, and incomplete reminders. To view and manage reminders for a particular channel, type /remind list in the message field and send the message in that channel.
The basics of /remind You can set recurring reminders by including phrases like every day, every Monday, every weekday, or even every two weeks. Once a reminder is set, you'll get a Slackbot message saying so. And if you ever need to manage or check your reminders, simply type /remind list to see the full list.
Slack will only notify the first user you mention in the remind command.
Slack's reminder command supports only Users and Channels so you cannot create a group to notify a large group of people.
You will probably have to create a separate channel to notify them or create a bot using slack that does that if you want to create a special integration for that
