If you want to make a NudgeMail video, drop us a link and we will show it off to the rest of our users.

NudgeMail inventor Jeremy Toeman discusses email based reminders, natural language commands and “productive procrastination” in this segment.

We want to thank The Next Web for helping us spread the word about NudgeMail.

We recently learned that several email reminders that were set up before the time change and scheduled for delivery after the time change have arrived at incorrect times. To fix this, users need to recreate these reminders now. There is no automated fix that we can implement on our end. Any new NudgeMail email reminders are unaffected and many users will not experience any problems at all. The issue only involves older NudgeMails for some of our users.

If your reminders aren’t arriving as scheduled, make sure that we know your time zone. This will ensure that your mail always arrives on time.

To set you time zone, send an email to settings@NudgeMail.com.

NudgeMail will reply with a list of settings for you to customize.

Click the link under “time zone.”

Press the button to save your settings.

If you are experiencing this problem, you can email status@NudgeMail.com to see a list of all active NudgeMails. However, the status list will likely appear to show the correct time. Know that if the reminder was set before the time change date and you are experiencing the problem, it will arrive an hour late.

Keeping you on time and organized is our main goal at NudgeMail. We are working on improving our system so this type of issue does not happen again. Thanks to everyone who reported this issue – we appreciate your support.

We’ve taken Rafe’s idea of linking to NudgeMail to remind listeners to tune in and created the NudgeMail Widget! The NudgeMail Widget adds a link to a web site that allows visitors to create a nudge that reminds them, via email, to check back in for new content at a certain day and time. This works great for NudgeMail because users don’t need to sign-up, login or learn how to do anything—simply send the email the widget creates.

Use the NudgeMail Widget to:

Remind your audience to tune in to your podcast
Help users remember to buy tickets for your show
Remind people who bought tickets to attend your event
Prompt readers to check your blog for new content

Starting today, you can create your own NudgeMail Widget for your site. With just a few simple steps, you can easily remind your visitors to listen to your podcast or watch your videos using NudgeMail.

To get started, visit www.nudgemail.com/widget, enter the date and time for the nudge, type the text you want in the subject line of the email from NudgeMail and copy the javascript to your page.

The show will broadcast live on Sirius XM Satellite Radio channels Stars Too, Sirius 108 and XM 139. Listeners and fans are welcome to participate by calling 888-996-2946. For those who don’t subscribe to Sirius, a free online trial is available at www.Siriusxm.com.

Set a NudgeMail to remember to tune in!

Special thanks to Live Digital and Shelly Palmer for profiling NudgeMail!

With just a few simple steps, you can easily sync your NudgeMail reminders with your Google Calendar so all of your reminders appear right alongside your daily schedule. Starting today, you’ll be able to create Google Calendar reminders simply by sending emails to your favorite NudgeMail commands, and you can even receive SMS and push alerts for your reminders!

HOWEVER!!! We don’t (yet) have “full” control over your calendar, so you can only VIEW your NudgeMails in Google Calendar, you canNOT edit or delete them from there.  In fact edits done within Google Calendar will be completely ignored by the system – but please don’t take it personally.  We’re working on adding a bunch of advanced features in the near future.

To get started, visit www.nudgemail.com/gcal.

How you can use your new calendar:

Here’s what you CAN do:

• See all of your NudgeMail reminders in an easy to scan calendar format.
• Receive in-browser reminders ahead of important NudgeMails.
• Set up SMS alerts for all of your NudgeMail reminders via your Google Calendar.

Here’s what you CAN’T do (yet!):

• Edit or remove existing reminders directly from the Google Calendar (so, no dragging reminders around). To edit or remove reminders, just email status@nudgemail.com and then edit them from the resulting status email.
• Set new NudgeMail reminders directly within the calendar.

Please note that it may take a few minutes after you first set up the calendar for all of your reminders to appear. If you have any trouble, feel free to email us at support@nudgemail.com

• Birthdays, anniversaries, and other things you really shouldn’t be forgetting
• Taxes, bills, and other major recurring payments (though they aren’t as much fun as the birthdays)
• Things you need to “check in on” on a periodic basis
• TV shows you want to record/watch
• Weekly grocery purchases
• Feeding the meter?

If you have anything we should add to the list, comment below!

Here’s the full commands list, with explanations.

Hourly: hourly@NudgeMail.com

Your NudgeMail will be sent to you every hour on the hour.

Daily: daily@NudgeMail.com

Your NudgeMail will be sent to you every day at your set Nudge Time. (The default Nudge Time is 6:30AM and changing it is as simple as sending an email to nudgetime@NudgeMail.com with the desired nudge delivery time as the subject line.)

Weekly: every(dayofweek)@NudgeMail.com

Send your email to everymonday@NudgeMail.com or everywed@NudgeMail.com. It works with all of the days of the week, and abbreviations work just fine (mon, tues, wed, thurs, etc).  Your NudgeMail will be sent to you every week at the set day, arriving at your set Nudge Time.

Monthly: monthly(#dayinmonth)@NudgeMail.com

Send your email to, for example, monthly5@NudgeMail.com and your NudgeMail will come on the 5th day of the month, every month (again, at your set Nudge Time).  If you don’t pick a day of the month, emails sent to monthly@NudgeMail.com will come on the first of the month.

Yearly: yearly(#dayinmonth)(monthname)@NudgeMail.com

This might seem a little trickier, but it’s not, just a little longer to type.  An annual reminder for every September 30th should be sent to yearly30sep@NudgeMail.com, and one for Feb 14th (we all need reminders for that one) goes to yearly14february@NudgeMail.com.  You must specify both the day of the month and the month itself for this to work (in other words, yearlymarch will *not* send a nudgemail to you every March 1st, you must use yearly1march for that to work).

Add Specific Times

You can also add a specified delivery time for all recurring reminders.

For daily, weekly and yearly reminders:

Just add the desired delivery time at end of the email commands above, without any colons in the time! Be sure to include “am” or “pm” at the end of your time setting, unless you use military time (so, either 230pm or 1430). Examples below:

• Daily at 5:30pm - EveryFriday530pm@NudgeMail.com
• Weekly – every Tuesday at 10:00am - everytues10am@NudgeMail.com
• Yearly – every August 19th at 3:30pm - yearly19aug330pm@NudgeMail.com

For monthly reminders (a little different):

IMPORTANT: For monthly recurring reminders you have to put a period between the date and the time.
ALSO, like above, you must NOT use a colon in the time.  Examples below:

• The 7th of every month at 3:00pm - monthly7.3PM@NudgeMail.com
• The 10th of every month at 2:18am – monthly10.218am@NudgeMail.com
• The 30th of every month at 3:30pm – monthly30.330pm@NudgeMail.com

Why do we need the period? Without it, our system would see a command like “monthly73pm” and get a little confused as to what time 73 PM is.

By the way, for those using the nudge@NudgeMail.com method of setting your NudgeMails, all of the above will work in the subject line.

We hope you enjoy these new recurring reminders from NudgeMail and use them to better manage your tasks and your inbox.  Later this month we’ll get another feature your way that we think you’re going to like.  A lot.

We’re happy to report that there is a pretty easy fix. What follows is a quick step by step rundown that shows how to make Spam Arrest recognize your NudgeMail as a friend, not a foe.

Even if you don’t use Spam Arrest, chances are these tips will lead you in the right direction for your program of choice as well.
If you ever need more help, please feel free to contact us at support@NudgeMail.com.

Step 3: From the left bar, choose “Domains.”

Step 4: Simply enter “nudgemail.com” into the domain box and click “Authorize Domain.”

You’re all set! Now you should have no problem receiving your handy reminders when you want them!
