2021 has been an amazing year for GReminders and we couldn\u2019t have done it without you!<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GReminders is now helping individuals and companies schedule appointments and remind clients in over 100 countries around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Feature Requests<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our users come from a wide variety of professions and industries, and while many of their scheduling and reminder needs are similar, there are still unique differences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, most companies remind their clients that an appointment will begin at a specific time. However, we received a request for reminders that could give a time window instead of an exact appointment time. We quickly provided a solution to accomplish this and it is now being used by many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another case, a user wanted the ability to automatically invite transcription bots to online Zoom meetings. We responded with a new feature that would not only allow for automatically inviting bots but colleagues as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcome ideas on how to make GReminders better with great enthusiasm. Suggestions from our users have made GReminders one of the most robust and feature-rich applications of its kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
