Get reminded about a Slack message later

Hover over any message, click the three dots in its top-right corner, and choose Remind me about this — pick a preset or custom time and Slack resurfaces it in your Later and Activity tabs with a notification. For free-form reminders there's the slash command /remind [#channel] [what] [when], for example: /remind #marketing-team to submit expenses every Thursday. Reminders can repeat daily, but not hourly.
