• The general format is set <Reminder-name (Not required)> <task-time (required)> <task-date (it take Present date if not given)>.
  • task-name: Not required field. Type the task that you want to be reminded about in .
  • task-date: An optional field. The default value is current date however you can also type here today if you want to put some extra efforts. For dates other than current date, type in DD/MM/YY format.
  • task-time: A required field. Type the time you want to be reminded at in 12 HOUR format AM or PM .
• Examples :
  • Set a reminder for Conducting Session at 5:23 PM today --> Session on ReactJS 2/15/2022 5:23 AM
  • Set a reminder for Todays for Going to Gym at 7:00 PM --> Go to Gym 2/15/2022(No Need to give the Date- It take by Default for Today ) 5:23 AM

😪Keep in mind

Just like me, this bot is lazy 🦥 and needs to sleep 😴 0000 to 0600 (IST) everyday (due to Heroku's policies). So try NOT to set any reminders for the above timings. Also Twilio's WhatsApp API is in beta which may cause issues or even stop working all together. Also this project is eventually destined to be sun-setted after the trial balance of Twilio is over.
