Waiting for reply and reminders

Use reminders to follow up on threads where you're waiting for someone else to reply.

Remind me

When you're waiting for a reply, you can set a reminder so Relay notifies you later:

  1. Open the thread.

  2. Click Remind me (clock icon) in the thread header.

  3. Choose when to be reminded (e.g. in 1 hour, tomorrow, next week).

  4. Relay will send a browser push notification at that time and open the thread when you tap it.

You can clear the reminder anytime by opening the Remind me menu and choosing Clear reminder.

Waiting for reply view

The Waiting for reply view in the sidebar shows threads where:

  • You set a reminder, and

  • You sent the last message (you're waiting for their reply).

Use it to see all threads you're following up on. The count shows how many such threads you have.

How it works

  • Reminders are stored per thread. When the time comes, Relay sends a push notification (if you have notifications enabled) and clears the reminder.

  • Only threads where you sent the last message appear in Waiting for reply, so you don't see threads where someone else needs to reply to you.

  • Notifications use the same settings as new-email push: enable in Settings → Notifications and allow browser notifications when prompted.
