Slashy gives you four layers of follow-up protection. Enable all four and no email falls through the cracks.
For the best coverage, enable both Auto-Reminders (Layer 2) and the Dropped Ball Scanner (Layer 1). Auto-Reminders track your outgoing emails; the Scanner catches everything else.

​
Layer 1: Daily Dropped Ball Scanner

Runs every morning and scans for emails where you owe a reply or are waiting for one.
1

Open the agent sidebar

Press Cmd+/
2

Create the scanner

Say: “Set up a daily dropped ball scanner that runs every weekday at 8am”
3

Receive your summary

The agent scans for: unreplied received emails, unanswered sent emails, stalled threads, and approaching commitments.
Customize the schedule, days, and scope (all email, specific labels, or specific contacts).

​
Layer 2: AI Auto-Reminders

When enabled, Slashy evaluates every email you send and automatically sets a “remind if no reply” reminder with an appropriate delay (1-14 days based on urgency). If the recipient replies, the reminder cancels automatically. Enable: Settings (Cmd+,) > Account > AI Features > turn on Auto reminders That’s it. Every outgoing email is now tracked for follow-up.

​
Layer 3: Manual Reminders

For any thread, press h to set a reminder. The picker suggests Later today, Tomorrow, Tomorrow morning, Tonight, Monday, and Next week, and the time you used last. Or type your own: 3 days, friday 2pm, 21 sep, or a day number like 21. Reminder types:
  • If no reply: only fires if no one replied (best for follow-up tracking)
  • Regardless: fires no matter what (for time-sensitive items)
Press Tab in the picker to switch between the two types without leaving the date field. Cmd+Shift+H does the same. When a reminder fires, the thread moves back into your inbox. Bulk reminders: Select multiple threads (Shift+J/Shift+K or Cmd+A), then press h.

​
Layer 4: Default Reminder on Send

Add a follow-up reminder to every email automatically at send time.
  1. Settings (Cmd+,) > Account > Compose & Reply > turn on Default reminders
  2. Configure: Days (default: 2), Time (default: 8:00 AM), Type (default: if no reply)
Inside the composer, Cmd+Shift+H sets a reminder for that message after it sends. Override or remove the reminder on individual emails before sending.
