Add an alert to a task so Webmail reminds you before it's due. This guide shows how to add a reminder and set how far ahead it fires.
Before you begin: The Alerts section appears only when you edit a saved task that has a Due Date.
Step 1 — Add an alert
Click Add alert (blue) in the Alerts section of the Edit Task form. A new alert row appears with a timing dropdown.
Step 2 — Choose when to be reminded
Select how far before the due time the reminder fires from the dropdown (blue): At time of task, 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes before, 1 or 2 hours before, 1 or 2 days before, or 1 week before.
Tip: Click Add alert again to set more than one reminder — for example, one a day before and one 15 minutes before. Use the X beside a row to remove that alert.
Step 3 — Save the task
Click Save Task (green) at the top of the form to save the task with its reminders.
