Turn on Recurring if you want repeated reminders.
Then select an interval: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. -

Under Who receives notifications?, choose:- Me, or
- Other people (enter one or more email addresses)

Under Channel, choose:- Email only

If using Slack for Other people, choose either:
- Direct message to each recipient, or
- A specific Slack channel
-
Save the alert
Click Save Alert to create a new rule, or Update Alert when editing an existing one.
Typical use cases
