How is this not a thing? Sadly the org i work for doesn't allow add-ins. This needs to be build in.

Simple fix would be to add this to the calendar function. Instead of a meeting, it would be a "Flag" or "Follow-up" function which would be joined to the chat or file.

There is an other way Power Automate to send reminders in teams. Is there anyone know about this? And how to proceed with this? Thank You

Never thought Microsoft comes with a platform without an option to set reminders or followup.
I was migrated to Teams from march, Corona year and noticed in few days. idea for the Post was submitted on 2017. three years and counting for a feature from Microsoft. -

In Slack you can set reminders in a channel that @ the channel or people. That's really helpful when your working with teams. This is more than just a nice to have when working with people remotely.

Having a feature that reminds you about tasks, messages etc. is essential. Without it you need to create a reminder in some other application and not directly linked to the original message. Can we get this feature escalated

I have created a Teams bot that allows for setting reminders on chat messages or channel conversations. Similar to Slack it also allows creating recurring reminders by typing them out. You can check it out here: https://teamsreminder.app If you have any questions please email me at hello@teamsreminder.app Thank you!

Bump... would be nice to have option also to remind about some chat message. If someone tells me he will check it in two days, I'd like to have option to remind me about this particular message, which in two days will alarm me like "hey you want me to remind you this message" with direct link to that message after I click the notification

We decided to switch to Teams because of the many integrations to MS software (e.g. Word, Excel, Calendar etc) but this is a deal-breaker which may us rethink going back to Slack. It shouldn't be that hard to implement, is it?
