If you're reminding yourself, just use me without the @ symbol. Follow the /remind command with the person you want to set the reminder for, the reminder, and the date for the reminder. Like this: /remind me "reminder" 4/29/2020 9:15 PM You can use a number of formats to define the time.

Specify only the time for today, state the date in most formats, or write any day of the week. You can also use recurring terms like "every Monday and Friday" or "every weekday". If you don't specify time, it'll default to 9:00 AM on the day you specify.

You can select Mark as Complete, Delete to remove the reminder, or Snooze the reminder to receive the reminder notification again later. If you assign a reminder to someone else using the @ symbol, it'll appear in their Slackbot channel at the date and time that you specify. Using Slack to remind others of tasks is a great way to stay productive in the collaboration tool your team uses anyway.

How to Edit a Reminder in Slack
Editing or updating a reminder takes a few extra steps, because you can't edit reminders directly. First, you need to find the reminder you want to edit, delete it, and then recreate it with your update.
