Reminders
Reminders let you set a follow-up alert on any sent or incoming email so nothing slips through the cracks. You can view upcoming Reminders in the Scheduled tab of the Activity Feed at the top of Gmail.

- Open the email thread
- Click the Remind button at the top of the thread
- Set your date, time, and parameters
- Click Confirm
