# Send deadline reminders before tasks are due

> Automatically email assignees about tasks that are due soon

<Tip>We recommend building automation examples directly in AI chat. Just describe the workflow you want, and AI will handle the full setup for you, including the trigger, actions, script, and configuration.</Tip>

## Build with AI

Open the AI Chat in your table's right sidebar and tell AI what you want. For example, you can say:

*"Every morning at 8am, find tasks due within the next 2 days that aren't completed, and email each assignee a reminder"*

AI will create the complete workflow automatically. You can review the generated script, test it with real data, and enable the workflow when ready.

## Manual setup

1. **Create a workflow** with trigger **At Scheduled Time** — daily at 08:00.
2. **Add an action** → **Get Records**.
   * Table: **Tasks**
   * Filter: `Due Date` **is within** `next 2 days` AND `Status` **is not** `Completed`
3. Click **Test** to see matching records.
4. **Add an action** → **Send Email** with **Loop** enabled.
5. Select the array from the Get Records step as the loop source.
6. Map:
   * To → Assignee's email (via **+**, referencing the current loop item)
   * Subject: `Reminder: "<task title>" is due soon`
   * Body: `Your task "<task title>" is due on <due date>. Please update the status when done.`
7. Click **Test**, then **enable**.

## Tips

* Adjust the filter window ("next 2 days", "next 7 days") based on how urgent tasks typically are.
* Add a condition to only email tasks where the Assignee is not empty.
