Is there any way to set up a slack /reminder with a link in the text?
Example:
/reminder me Hey! Check out the weather in https://www.yr.no/place/Norway/ every weekday
When I try to type this on Slack, I get the following message:
/reminder me Hey! Check out the weather in https://www.yr.no/place/Norway/ every weekday is not a valid command. In Slack, all messages that start with the "/" character are interpreted as commands.
If you are trying to send a message and not run a command, try preceding the "/" with an empty space.

To include a link, use quotation marks when you describe what to remind. e.g., /remind @Trump to "use Google Scholar when searching for scientific evidence https://scholar.google.com" every weekday. Yes!
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.
In the Slack web app, select the three dots to the right of the message. This will bring up a menu where you can select Remind me about this. Then, to the left, select when you want to be reminded. You can choose a fixed time period or select Custom to set a date and time and customize the reminder itself.
How to Set Custom Reminders in Slack You can use basic slash commands to set customized reminders for any time, while tagging another person or channel in that reminder. In any message field, type /remind and a basic template will appear.
For example, our content team at Slack uses the #team-editorial channel to run their daily meetings. Their user group goes by @editorial-team, and the /remind command for their daily standup is: Every weekday morning, the whole team gets a notification to answer the standup question in their channel:
You can set a reminder in a few ways: 1 Open the shortcuts menu to create a reminder for yourself. 2 Click the three dots icon next to any message to remind yourself to come back to a message later. 3 Type the /remind slash command in the message field to create a custom reminder for yourself, other members, or a specific channel.
While most reminders will be sent to yourself via Slackbot, it’s a good idea to send them to team channels when you want to maintain a regular cadence on something. Use it to give a #writers channel a prompt every Monday (or send them a Throwback Thursday reminder to post older work they’re proud of).
yep, it is always nice to include links to Docs, Jira, etc. To include a link, use quotation marks when you describe what to remind. e.g., /remind @Trump to "use Google Scholar when searching for scientific evidence https://scholar.google.com" every weekday.
