Reminders app
Reminders is a platform-provided app that lets agents create scheduled follow-ups attached to a conversation. When the time arrives, the Reminders app posts a message to the conversation as a notification.
Users see reminders inline in the conversation detail and can cancel them. See Use → Reminders for the user-facing view.
When you need it
Reminders is required for:
- Agents that should follow up on a user request later (e.g. "remind me in an hour to check on the build").
- Agents that schedule periodic check-ins.
- Any conversational pattern that requires asynchronous, time-based output.
Without the Reminders app installed, agents have no way to schedule a message in the future.
Install in your organization
The platform ships Reminders as a cluster-scoped app on most deployments. If it is already installed for your organization, you do not need to install it again — agents can use it immediately.
To check or install:
In the Console
- Console → Apps → Available tab.
- Find Reminders.
- If it is already installed, the install button is replaced with Open installation. Skip to Verify.
- If not, click Install. The app requires
thread:createandmessage:sendpermissions on the organization. Approve and save.
With Terraform
resource "agyn_app_installation" "reminders" {
organization_id = agyn_organization.acme.id
app_slug = "reminders"
permissions = ["thread:create", "message:send"]
}
Reminders has no required configuration — the install is otherwise empty.
Verify
- Console → Apps → Installed tab → Reminders.
- The status should be
active(the app is enrolled and reachable). - The audit log shows recent reminder events.
To verify end-to-end, ask an agent in a conversation to set a reminder a minute or two out. After the time elapses, the Reminders app posts a message in the conversation. See Use → Reminders.
How agents use it
Agents call the Reminders capability through the platform's tool registration — typically exposed automatically once the app is installed and the agent has at least one MCP server or built-in reminders integration available. The exact wire-up depends on the agent CLI you use; refer to the agent's Skills or the CLI's documentation if a particular agent does not see reminder capabilities.
Uninstall
Uninstalling Reminders cancels all scheduled reminders in the organization. Past reminders that have already posted remain visible in conversations.
In the Console
- Apps → Installed → Reminders → Uninstall.
With Terraform
Delete the agyn_app_installation.reminders resource and apply.
