They give you a timely heads-up before meetings and appointments so you can review the client, gather your thoughts, and show up ready to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rithm offers this feature as <strong>phone alerts on the Rithm iPhone app<\/strong>. On the web, you manage the same schedule and use related reminder tools, but you will not see the same \u201calert me X minutes before my meeting\u201d settings.

That experience is built for the Rithm iPhone app (see the <strong>Mobile UI<\/strong> tab).<\/p>\n<p>What the web <em>does<\/em> give you is everything that makes those reminders useful: your live schedule, your client details, and a few related reminder tools that help a salesperson stay on top of the day without relying on a phone notification.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it this way:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Meeting Reminders (iPhone)<\/strong> \u2014 Alerts on your phone before scheduled meetings and appointments.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Web schedule and notifications<\/strong> \u2014 Where you plan, review, and complete the same meetings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Related web reminder tools<\/strong> \u2014 Helpful extras that are <em>not<\/em> the same as Meeting Reminders, but often used alongside them (described below so you do not confuse them).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your goal is \u201cping me before my next client meeting,\u201d use the Rithm iPhone app and turn on Meeting notifications there. If your goal is \u201cplan my day and stay organized in the browser,\u201d stay on the web and use the schedule plus the related tools below.<\/p>\n<h3>Related reminder tools on the web (not the same as Meeting Reminders)<\/h3>\n<p>These features can mention \u201creminders,\u201d but they serve different jobs:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Notifications from Rithm<\/strong> \u2014 Optional morning or evening emails with helpful reminders, tips, and updates about your upcoming day. These are digest emails from Rithm, not minute-by-minute meeting alerts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Email\/Phone (reminders only)<\/strong> \u2014 A client setting for people you mainly reach by email or phone instead of an in-person or virtual meeting. Rithm creates recurring \u201creach out\u201d reminders so you know when it is time to contact them again.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sticky notes<\/strong> \u2014 Personal to-do notes with a due time for yourself (for example, \u201cfollow up on proposal tonight\u201d). These are your own reminders, not meeting alerts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Where to find it in the UI?<\/h2>\n<h3>Meeting Reminders settings<\/h3>\n<p>There is no Web UI screen labeled Meeting Reminders or Meeting notifications.

They are designed for busy salespeople who want a reliable nudge before a client call, site visit, or other appointment\u2014so you can open the app, review the client, and walk in prepared.<\/p>\n<p>These alerts are <strong>local notifications on your device<\/strong>. Rithm schedules them on your phone based on your calendar and your settings. They are not text messages to your clients, and they are not customized emails you write for each meeting.<\/p>\n<p>There are two kinds of Meeting Reminders. You can use one, both, or neither.<\/p>\n<h3>1. My appointments reminder<\/h3>\n<p>Alerts you before meetings and appointments <strong>you created yourself<\/strong> (manual \/ fixed items), including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In-person appointments you added<\/li>\n<li>Virtual appointments you added<\/li>\n<li>Personal time on your schedule<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When this reminder fires, the notification title is <strong>Appointment reminder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>2. First daily meeting reminder<\/h3>\n<p>Alerts you before the <strong>first Rithm auto-scheduled meeting of each day<\/strong>\u2014the earliest incomplete meeting that Rithm\u2019s optimizer placed on your calendar for that day (including virtual and edited auto meetings).<\/p>\n<p>When this reminder fires, the notification title is <strong>First meeting reminder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially useful if Auto-Schedule builds most of your day: you get one clear \u201cstart of the day\u201d nudge for the first visit, without a separate alert for every auto-scheduled stop that follows.<\/p>\n<h3>What each notification shows<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Title<\/strong> \u2014 Appointment reminder or First meeting reminder<\/li>\n<li><strong>Subtitle<\/strong> \u2014 Usually the client name or organization (or \u201cand others\u201d if more than one client is on the item). If there is no client, it may show your notes instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Body<\/strong> \u2014 The meeting date and time (for example, the day and time of the appointment itself)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tapping a reminder opens the <strong>Schedule<\/strong> tab so you can jump straight into your day.<\/p>\n<h3>What Meeting Reminders are not<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>They do not send SMS or email to your clients.<\/li>\n<li>They do not let you write a custom message per meeting.<\/li>\n<li>They are not the same as sticky notes, and not the same as a client marked <strong>Email\/Phone (reminders only)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>They are not configured on the Rithm website. Web Settings has <strong>Notifications from Rithm<\/strong> (email digests), which is a different feature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Where to find it in the UI?<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the Rithm iPhone app and sign in.<\/li>\n<li>Tap the <strong>Settings<\/strong> tab at the bottom (gear icon).<\/li>\n<li>Find the section titled <strong>Meeting notifications<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Inside that section you will see two cards:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>My appointments reminder<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>First daily meeting reminder<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Each card includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An <strong>Enabled<\/strong> toggle<\/li>\n<li>An <strong>Alert<\/strong> menu for how early the reminder should fire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Meeting Reminders are <strong>not<\/strong> configured from Client Detail, from the meeting create\/edit screens, or from a per-meeting button. One Settings screen controls reminders for your schedule overall.<\/p>\n<p>If reminders are turned on but your iPhone has not yet allowed notifications, Rithm may show a permission screen titled <strong>Never Miss a Critical Deal Moment<\/strong>, with buttons such as <strong>Turn On Reminders<\/strong> and <strong>Maybe Later<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to use it?<\/h2>\n<h3>Turn Meeting Reminders on<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to <strong>Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Under <strong>Meeting notifications<\/strong>, open the reminder type you want.<\/li>\n<li>Turn <strong>Enabled<\/strong> on for:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>My appointments reminder<\/strong> \u2014 if you want alerts for meetings and personal time you added yourself<\/li>\n<li><strong>First daily meeting reminder<\/strong> \u2014 if you want an alert before your first auto-scheduled meeting each day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Tap <strong>Alert<\/strong> and choose when the reminder should fire. Options are:\n<ul>\n<li>At time of event<\/li>\n<li>5 minutes before<\/li>\n<li>10 minutes before<\/li>\n<li>15 minutes before<\/li>\n<li>30 minutes before<\/li>\n<li>45 minutes before<\/li>\n<li>60 minutes before (default when first set up)<\/li>\n<li>90 minutes before<\/li>\n<li>120 minutes before<\/li>\n<li>180 minutes before<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Leave Settings when you are done. If you changed anything, Rithm refreshes your upcoming reminders from your schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There is no separate Save button for these settings. Changes are saved when you flip <strong>Enabled<\/strong> or choose an <strong>Alert<\/strong> time. The <strong>Alert<\/strong> menu is unavailable while that reminder type is turned off.<\/p>\n<h3>Allow notifications on your iPhone<\/h3>\n<p>Meeting Reminders only appear if iOS allows Rithm to send notifications.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>When prompted, tap <strong>Turn On Reminders<\/strong> and allow notifications.<\/li>\n<li>If you previously denied permission, open the alert\u2019s <strong>Open Settings<\/strong> button (or go to iPhone Settings \u2192 Rithm) and enable notifications for the app.<\/li>\n<li>If you tap <strong>Maybe Later<\/strong> on the permission screen, Rithm turns both Meeting Reminder types off so you can continue using the app without alerts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Tip: Keep Focus modes and Do Not Disturb in mind. Rithm marks these alerts as time-sensitive so they are more likely to break through, but your phone\u2019s system settings can still affect what you see and hear.<\/p>\n<h3>How reminders are chosen automatically<\/h3>\n<p>You do not create individual reminder records. After you enable a type, Rithm looks at your schedule and schedules local alerts for matching future, incomplete items.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>My appointments reminder<\/strong> covers future incomplete items you created (manual appointments, virtual appointments, and personal time).<\/li>\n<li><strong>First daily meeting reminder<\/strong> covers the earliest future incomplete auto-scheduled meeting for each day.<\/li>\n<li>Completed or past items are skipped.<\/li>\n<li>Rithm looks ahead about three weeks when building these alerts, and there is a practical limit on how many pending notifications iOS can hold at once.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Reminders are refreshed when your schedule loads and when you leave Meeting notifications after changing settings. If you turn both reminder types off, pending Meeting Reminder notifications are cleared.<\/p>\n<h3>Turn Meeting Reminders off or change timing<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Return to <strong>Settings \u2192 Meeting notifications<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Flip <strong>Enabled<\/strong> off for either or both types, or change the <strong>Alert<\/strong> timing.<\/li>\n<li>Leave the screen so Rithm can apply the update.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>A simple routine for new salespeople<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Build or auto-schedule your day as usual in Rithm.<\/li>\n<li>Enable <strong>First daily meeting reminder<\/strong> with something comfortable like <strong>60 minutes before<\/strong> if most of your day is auto-scheduled.<\/li>\n<li>Enable <strong>My appointments reminder<\/strong> if you also add fixed appointments or personal time yourself.<\/li>\n<li>When an alert arrives, tap it, open the client from Schedule, skim notes, then head to the meeting.<\/li>\n<li>Mark the meeting complete afterward so future reminders stay accurate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Important differences from the Web UI<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Meeting notifications live only on iPhone<\/strong> under Settings.
