Smart DM Follow-Up Reminders
Never lose track of messages awaiting response.
Nora monitors your Slack DMs, flags messages that need a response, and reminds you via reaction if you haven't replied within a set time (2 hours, 4 hours, etc.).
Nora watches your DMs and messages where someone asked you a question, made a request, or asked for approval. If you haven't reacted or replied within your set threshold (default 2 hours for direct reports, 4 hours for external), Nora adds a ⏰ reminder reaction and optionally sends you a summary DM of pending responses. This keeps critical communication from slipping and improves response times. The automation is smart enough to ignore messages already in threads with responses, chat history, and messages that only needed acknowledgment. Users report 25-30% faster response times and zero missed critical asks.
How it works
- Monitor all DMs and tagged channels for messages mentioning your name or asking questions
- Identify message intent (request, question, decision needed) using NLP
- Track time since message received
- Add ⏰ reaction when threshold is exceeded without a response
- Optionally send summary of pending responses as daily reminder
- Clear reaction when response is given
