Reminders

Overview

The Reminder object allows to add reminders about your contacts.

A reminder is a complex object in Monica. There are two types of reminders:

  • unique reminder (frequency_type == one_time),
  • recurring reminder (frequency_type == week | month | year).

When a reminder is recurrent, the frequency_number indicates the number of days|months|years between each occurence.

It's important to note that when a birthdate is entered for a contact, the system will automatically create a reminder for this birthday. In your code, make sure that you don't explicitely create a reminder for birthdays.

When a reminder is supposed to be triggered, if the instance is set to send emails or if the account is on the paid plan, an email will be sent automatically to the user with the reminder as its content.

When retrieving a reminder, we always also return some basic information about the related contact.
