Would like the ability to create a reminder or task from a message
In Slack there is an ability to click message options and set a reminder to take action on that message at some later date, e.g., remind me about this tomorrow or in 1 hour, etc. I think they use their "slackbot /" commands to create this reminder. In Teams, it would be nice to have this ability or to create a task to take action on a message at some later time. Thanks!

I really like the suggestion of creating an alarm on a message, so you come back to it. I’ve passed this on to our engineering team.
Meanwhile, here’s another feature you can utilize for the same purpose — use our “bookmark” button, which is in the upper right corner of every message. This will save that message or thread directly to your profile. To access your saved messages, just click your face in the upper left corner of the product. You’ll see a tab in the left rail that says “Saved.” This is like a list of little reminders.
Hope that helps! :-)

Yes please - something with a date attached. When you're on multiple teams, it's a challenge to remember when to do everything.

So it has taken 2 years and yet not able to implement a simple reminder feature. Wow MS teams is going places!

Ability to tag a message with a reminder or even more generically what slack does with being able to set your own reminder. such as /reminder "Go to the store" on 1/31/19 at 5:00.

What good is setting a bookmark, if you don't remember to go in and check your bookmarks? The whole point of a reminder is a safe guard in case I forget. A reminder bot that allows me to create reminders for myself and the ability to be reminded about a message later are crucial.

Using teams today for the first time, and got an assignment for next week. Wanted to set a reminder for some time friday but a quick google search brought me here. I find the suggested workaround a joke. And to date there is no option in the store for this either.
C'mon, this request is over 2 years old but apparently a feature a lot of people would like (just like reminders in Slack and Trello or Snooze in Google Inbox/Gmail).

The problem with the suggested approch is that we don't think to constantly go looking into bookmarks, so that's not really a solution.
The feature I use the most in Outlook is reminders/tasks set from emails, so if Teams want to replace emails with its tool then we need to have reminders.

HI All, Really running behind on not having a reminder feature on TEAMS. SLACK has had it for years now. and RememberMe isn't a great solution.

Would love to have an option to have a weekly/biweekly/... reminder for something!

Agreed - Saved is a great tool but it's definitely not a replacement for a reminder.

I really hope that this get escalated in near future. Such a useful function. I find myself either sending an email or setting up another ToDo item to ensure that I follow-up on something. Tagging a line to "Remind me in" just make since to my team here.

I would be extremely cool to have a flow trigger for saved messages.

Very important feature if we hope to move out of email and into teams

The workaround is not appropriate because you want a time reminder and simply saving it does not achieve this. Pushing into ToDo seems technically simple enough and would be really cool - please!

Just a heads up that there has been an App created that acheives most of this functionality. Currently It works up to 7 days.

Please do this or the ability to mark messages as unread/read within the desktop client as well. I don't open messages for this reason and looks bad when I don't respond or forget.

That this functionality still doesn't exist in this product after 2 years pretty much tell us that MS is more involved in other things and this product will just continue to flounder. I cant event get Flows to work right with Teams anymore. Save yourself the headaches and go back to Slack.
