How to set up automatic reminders

Let ProperFile do the chasing. It can remind clients to sign their e-documents, and remind your attorneys before a hearing, by email and, if you like, by text message.

Time needed: about 2 minutes.

Step 1

Open Reminders

Click Admin Panel in the left menu, then click Reminders.

The Admin Panel with the Reminders tile highlighted

Step 2

Know the two kinds of reminders

  • Document Signature Reminders email a client every few days until they sign an e-document you sent them.
  • Attorney Calendar Reminders email attorneys a set number of days before a hearing. They go to the attorney assigned to the case and to every user whose user type is Attorney.

Both start switched off.

Step 3

Turn them on and save

For each reminder, choose Yes under Enable. Pick how often to remind clients (every 1 to 5 days) and how many days before a hearing to remind attorneys (1 to 7 days). Choose Yes under Enable SMS Reminder to send a text message as well. Click Save Reminder Settings.

Tip: text reminders need a mobile number on the client’s or attorney’s record.
