Reminders

Reminders let you track important dates for your contacts and receive timely email notifications so you never miss a moment that matters.

Important events

Each contact can have one or more important events attached to it. An important event has:

Field	Description
Event type	birthday, anniversary, nameday, graduation, or other
Event date	The specific date of the event (day/month, repeating yearly)
Note	An optional note about the event
Notify days before	How early you want to be notified: 1, 3, or 7 days before, or no notification

How notifications are delivered

Bondery uses a scheduled database job (powered by pg_cron) that runs hourly. It checks which events are due for notification and sends a daily digest email. Notifications are grouped per user and sent once per day, at the hour you configure in your account settings.

Notification timing

The exact delivery time depends on two things:

1. The notify_days_before value on the event

2. The reminder_send_hour preference in your account settings

For example, if your birthday is on March 10 and you set notify_days_before to 3, you will receive an email on March 7 at your configured send hour.
