Who uses this: You set a reminder on a record from that record’s Actions menu, and the reminder alerts you — the person who set it. Availability: All regions.
A reminder is a follow-up you attach to a record in FieldPulse — a job, customer, estimate, invoice, and more — that alerts you at the time you pick. You set a reminder from the record’s Actions menu, and your reminders are housed under the bell icon in the FieldPulse header. The process is the same on every record type.

Overview

The workflow breakdown reminders solve is the follow-up that lives only in someone’s memory. A customer asks you to circle back next week; an estimate needs a nudge in three days. A reminder pins that follow-up to the record it belongs to and surfaces it at the time you set, so the record and the reminder stay together. Reminders work the same way on jobs, customers, estimates and invoices, and other records. This page uses a job as the example.

How it works

You create a reminder in one pass through the record’s Actions menu — choose when the reminder should reach you, give it a title, and submit it. The reminder then appears under the bell icon in the FieldPulse header alongside your other reminders.

Set a reminder

  1. Open the record you want to be reminded about — for this example, a job.
  2. Select Actions. A job record open on the Info tab with the green Actions button highlighted between Customer Communication and Edit
  3. In the dropdown, select Set a Reminder.
  4. Select when you want to receive the reminder. The Actions dropdown with Set a Reminder highlighted and the timing menu open beside it, listing In 1 Hour, In 3 Hours, Tomorrow, Next Monday Morning, In 1 Week, In 1 Month, and Custom, with In 3 Hours highlighted The timing menu offers In 1 Hour, In 3 Hours, Tomorrow, Next Monday Morning, In 1 Week, In 1 Month, and Custom.
  5. Enter the text of the reminder in Reminder Title.
  6. Select Submit. The Reminder Title pop-up over the job record, with the Reminder Title field filled in and the blue Submit button highlighted next to Cancel
A pop-up confirms the reminder is set, and the reminder reaches you at the time you selected.
