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! :-)

Please re-look at this request MS Teams team! We need either integration with ToDo and/or the ability to add reminders to saved items so that we can treat it as a task list.

Saw an app "rememberThis" that looks like it has this functionality, seems quite easy to use, just have to install it on the channels

Wanting to do this today also, we are also new to office 365 and trialing it, very surprised that this, as well as other suggestions that are highly voted up still haven't been implemented.
Pretty poor service really.

any updates on this functionality? I'd love to be able to set weekly reminders within teams/channels too!

We have nice a to-do app in the Office suite - why still don't we have good collaboration between Teams and To-Do?
I simply want to have a small icon "Send To-Do" on every message. -

Saved messages need a reminder in order to be effective above a dozen or so messages.

I'm surprised there is no trigger available for when I save a message. It is not possible to setup workflows based on messages now (example workflow being Saved message -> Trigger to flow -> Flow action X).

This needs to be a native feature, if it's an add on a solution then it won't be widely adopted.

"Saved" is not an equivalent solution for reminders from a message. This feature needs to be added. My staff has requested this many times.

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.
