Reminder by Dizetech

Reminder by Dizetech is a WordPress plugin designed to help users schedule and manage reminders for events, deadlines, and important dates directly within the WordPress admin dashboard. It addresses the need for both private and public event notifications, making it suitable for tracking birthdays, renewals, meetings, and other time-sensitive tasks. The plugin uses a custom post type to store reminders, aiming for a lightweight and reliable workflow that integrates seamlessly with the WordPress environment.

Core features available in the free version include creating unlimited reminders, adding one-time notifications for various events, and setting event details such as date and time using a 12-hour picker. Users can attach private notes to reminders, organize them into custom categories, and manage everything from a modern dashboard that displays statistics like total reminders, upcoming events in the next 30 days, and drafts. Flexible email notifications allow for one or multiple alerts per reminder, such as sending emails to administrators or custom client addresses at specified intervals (for example, one week and one day before an event). The plugin also offers a template importer for quickly loading saved email templates and customizable settings for notification times, sender information, and reusable templates.

For those seeking advanced automation, upgrading to Reminders Pro unlocks additional capabilities. Pro features include support for recurring reminders (daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly), public event management with dedicated pages, countdown timers, event registration forms, and automated reminders to registered attendees. The Pro version also introduces SMS and WhatsApp Business API notifications, webhook triggers for integration with services like Zapier and Slack, detailed notification logs, the ability to save unlimited email templates, actionable emails with completion links, support for multiple recipients, and priority support from Dizetech.

Installation involves uploading the plugin folder to the WordPress plugins directory and activating it through the admin menu. Email notifications are sent using WordPress’s built-in WP-Cron system, with options for more accurate scheduling via server cron jobs. The plugin emphasizes minimal impact on site performance, as front-end processes only run when public events are created.
