Scheduled reminders are used to make sure that users focus on the most important review requests that require their attention. Scheduled reminders for pull requests will send a message to you in Slack with open pull requests needing your review at a specified time. For example, you can setup scheduled reminders to send you a message in Slack every morning at 10 AM with pull requests needing to be reviewed by you or one of your teams.
For certain events, you can also enable real-time alerts for scheduled reminders. Real-time alerts get sent to your Slack channel as soon as an important event, such as when you are assigned a review, is triggered by another user.
You can set scheduled reminders for personal or team-level review requests for pull requests in organizations you are a member of. Before you can create a scheduled reminder for yourself, an organization owner must authorize your Slack workspace. For more information, see Managing scheduled reminders for your organization.
Reminders will only be triggered for up to five repositories per scheduled reminder. Users can either select up to five specific repositories or allow the system to automatically choose the five repositories with the oldest average pull request age. For each repository, up to 20 of the oldest pull requests will be shown.
Note
Reminders are not sent when changes are merged from upstream into a fork.
