# Set up a reminder email message

In Sitecore, you can schedule to send a reminder to one or more users by email. This feature is particularly useful if you have time-sensitive content on your website. For example, if your website contains a special offer that runs out on a certain date, you can use the reminder to send yourself or others a reminder to remove the offer from the website on the appropriate day.

> [!note]
> To send emails to Sitecore users, for example, with reminders or content test results, an administrator must configure the email address to send emails from. In the root folder of the instance, in the `Web.config` file, in the `EmailReminder.FromAddress` setting, enter the email address that you want to use to send reminder email messages to Sitecore users.

To set a reminder:

1. In the Content Editor, on the **Review** tab, in the **Schedule** group, click **Reminder**. In the list of options, click **Set reminder**.
