# Message Reminders

Set reminders directly in Dialpad to stay on top of important messages and tasks. Whether you're in the middle of a busy day or planning your workflow, you'll never lose track of what matters most.

Message reminders can be set either from a specific message or using a quick command. Dialbot displays all reminders in any chat you use. (Don’t worry; only you can see them.)
