Frequently asked questions

What about cards with no assignee?

Route unassigned but due-soon cards to the board owner or a Slack channel so they still get picked up.

Can I remind multiple times?

Add extra schedule branches for different lead times, e.g. 3 days and 1 day before, tagging the message accordingly.
