Create reminders for follow-ups, deadlines, and recurring tasks directly inside Jira
A lightweight solution for Jira Service Management agents and project leads to stay organized and prevent missed customer callbacks without leaving the issue view
When to use reminders in Jira?
Use Reminder for Jira when your team:
...misses ticket follow-ups or customer callbacks
...struggles with manual deadline tracking
...needs to handle recurring maintenance or reporting tasks
...uses external notes for reminders instead of Jira
How Teams Use Reminders in Jira
Whether you are managing a high-velocity support desk or delivering complex projects, Reminder for Jira adapts to your team's workflow. Here is how different roles use it daily:
Jira Service Management (JSM) & Support
Support agents use issue-based reminders for customer callbacks and internal SLA follow-ups. Instead of using external notes, agents set a quick alert directly on a ticket to re-engage with a user or check a pending vendor response at a specific time. This keeps all communication-related tasks visible within the support workspace.
Project Management & Delivery
Project leads use the app for precise milestone tracking and meeting approval deadlines. Teams set specific reminders for document reviews, stakeholder sign-offs, or critical project phases. This ensures that delivery dates remain visible to the team and are met without the need for complex workflow automation.
Operations & Recurring Work
Operations teams manage routine tasks like monthly reviews, compliance audits, and license renewals using recurring reminders. This setup helps maintain consistency for periodic business processes and ensures that time-sensitive maintenance tasks are handled on schedule directly within Jira.
Issue Reminders vs Jira Automation: What’s the difference?
Jira Automation:
Requires Jira Admin rights, complex JQL queries, and clutters the global rule list just to remind one person about a task.
Reminder for Jira:
Can be set by any user in 2 clicks. No complex rules needed. You get personal or team notifications exactly when you need them.
What our clients say about us
We initially rolled out the Reminders plugin with just one team, and it quickly proved its value in helping them stay on top of tasks and deadlines. After updating the configuration and showcasing a demo to other teams, interest has grown significantly. What started as a single-team adoption is now expanding across multiple groups who see the benefit of having automated reminders integrated directly into Jira.
A simple, but very effective method to remind yourself or other users about a Jira task. We no longer have to keep a separate list of tasks to follow-up on.
