Set Reminders in Discord with a Slash Command

Let members set personal reminders with /reminder — one-off or repeating, delivered in-channel or by DM. Here's how the Reminders plugin works and when to reach for it.

"Remind me to post the event at 8." In most servers that means someone sets a phone alarm and hopes they're at their desk. CloudMod keeps the reminder where the event actually happens — in Discord — so it pings the right person in the right place at the right time.

One command, natural timing

A member runs /reminder set with a delay like 2h, 30m or 1h30m and a message. When it's due, CloudMod pings them — in the channel, or by DM if they'd rather keep it private. No calendar, no external app, no leaving Discord.

One-off or repeating

Reminders can fire once or repeat on the same interval — handy for a recurring "bump the giveaway" or "start the weekly voice night". /reminder list shows what's queued and /reminder cancel clears anything you no longer need, so it never turns into a pile of forgotten pings.

Personal, not admin overhead

Because members set their own reminders, there's nothing for staff to manage. It's a quality-of-life tool that lives quietly in the background and only speaks up when someone asked it to.

A note on Alpha

Reminders is currently an Alpha plugin — it's fully usable and safe to switch on, just newer than our stable features, so it's had less mileage. If anything feels off, that feedback is exactly what moves it to stable, so tell us. Nothing about it will surprise a member: it's a slash command that pings you when you asked.

Getting started

Enable the Reminders plugin, then try /reminder set 10m test to see the flow end to end. Once you've watched one land, /reminder list and /reminder cancel are all you need to manage the rest.
