A pitch left for two weeks without a follow-up is a pitch that fades. Pitch reminders solve this: set "remind me 7 days after the last interaction" once, and Boardssey nudges you when it's time.
What this page helps you do
Set a reminder on any pitch row.
Understand how reminders are calculated (from Last interaction, not Date pitched).
Know where the reminder shows up when it's due.
Set a reminder on a pitch
Open the Pitches tab on the relevant game (see Pitch tracker).
Find the pitch row.
Open the row's ⋯ menu and pick Set reminder.
Enter how many days after the last interaction you want to be nudged. Common choices: 7–14–30 days.
Click Set reminder to save.
The reminder is now active. You'll see a small badge or icon on the pitch row indicating a reminder is queued.
How the timing works
Reminders are calculated from the Last interaction date on the pitch, not from when you set the reminder.
Example: if the last interaction was 5 days ago and you set "remind me in 7 days," the reminder fires 2 days from now (7 days from the last interaction).
This means keeping Last interaction current is essential. Every time you have a real touchpoint with the publisher (an email reply, a call, a meeting), update Last interaction. The reminder will recalculate.
If you don't update Last interaction, reminders fire as scheduled, even if you've actually been talking with them. Boardssey doesn't read your email; it trusts what's in the tracker.
When a reminder is due
Two things happen:
In-app notification: the bell icon in the top bar shows a count. The notification reads something like "Follow up on pitch to Stonemaier for Castle Project."
Email: sent to the address on your personal account.
Both come from the same event; you can turn either channel on or off in Notifications and preferences. Most designers leave both on for pitch reminders.
Click the notification (or the email link) to jump straight to the pitch row, where you can update status, log the new interaction, and decide whether to set a fresh reminder.
After you follow up
Best practice when a reminder fires:
Send the follow-up (email, message, whatever).
Open the pitch row.
Update Last interaction to today.
Update the status if it changed (e.g. Pitched, waiting to hear back → Video requested).
Add a one-line note about what you sent or what they said.
Set a fresh reminder if you want another nudge.
Steps 2–5 take 30 seconds and keep the tracker honest. The reminder system relies on it.
Tips & common questions
Can I have multiple reminders on the same pitch? Yes. If you want a 7-day nudge and a 30-day fallback, set both. They fire independently.
The pitch is in a "Pass" or "Never got back to me" state, do reminders still fire? Reminders fire regardless of status. If a pitch is closed, clear its reminders so you're not nudged about a dead conversation.
Can I clear a reminder without deleting the pitch? Yes, open the row's ⋯ menu and pick Clear reminder (or remove the reminder from the same dialog where you set it).
My reminder didn't fire. Two common causes: (1) you updated Last interaction to a later date, which pushed the reminder out; (2) email is going to spam. Check the bell icon first, if the in-app notification is there, the reminder did fire and only the email is missing.
Can I set a team-wide rule like "remind me on every pitch every 14 days"? Not today. Reminders are per-pitch. We're tracking a global default on the roadmap.
Can a teammate see my reminders? Reminders are personal, the email goes only to whoever set the reminder, and the in-app notification only appears in their bell. The pitch itself is visible to anyone with access to the game.
