Reminders & Notifications

The part that does the chasing, so you do not have to

Configure it once per company and it runs on its own: the owner is nudged before the deadline, and if the task is still open afterwards their admin is told. Everything runs on one timezone you choose, and completed, rejected or deleted work leaves the queue automatically.

What it does

One timezone, one team

Pick your company timezone once. Every reminder, every overdue report and every recurring task is read on that clock, so a 10 AM reminder means 10 AM for everyone — including people working from another country.

Deadlines follow it too

A deadline typed on a task is read on the same company clock, not on whichever timezone that person’s laptop happens to be set to.

Before the deadline

A nudge to the person who owns the task, as far ahead as you decide.

Morning & evening

Each person gets their own pending list, at the two times your admin sets.

Escalation

If a task stays open, the admins you choose receive an overdue report for it — one message per overdue task.

Your rules

Escalation rules you define, each with its own gap and its own set of admins.

It knows when to stop

A task that is completed, rejected or deleted is dropped from the queue — no stray messages.

In-app too

Real-time notifications inside the workspace alongside the WhatsApp messages.

What the timezone actually decides

Reminders are about time, so the first thing you set is which clock they run on. AptoTask uses one timezone for your whole company — chosen from a searchable list of every country — and everything below is read on it.

Every scheduled message

Morning and evening reminders and admin overdue reports fire at the hour you typed, on the company clock. Set 10 AM and it is 10 AM — not 10 AM in five different places.

Every recurring task

The hour a repeating copy is created is read on the same clock, whether you leave it on the company default or give one task its own time.

Every deadline your team types

A deadline entered on a task is read on the company clock, not on whichever timezone that person’s laptop is set to. Someone working from abroad sets the same moment everyone else sees.

Not the instant alerts

A task being created, updated or reassigned notifies straight away. There is no schedule involved, so the timezone never touches it.

There is no per-person timezone, and that is deliberate: one shared clock means a deadline means the same moment to the person who sets it and the person who has to meet it. The timezone in use is shown on everyone’s dashboard, so nobody has to guess — and if their device is on a different one, the workspace says so.
