Scheduled reminders updates in GitHub app for Microsoft Teams

The new Scheduled Reminders UI

We made significant enhancements to schedule reminders experience in GitHub app for Microsoft Teams.

  • We have introduced a first class UI to configure your pending pull request reminders. And as part of this UI, we added a bunch of advanced controls that will help you in fine tuning your reminders.
  • We relaxed the administrator requirement to configure reminders. Now, any contributor can schedule reminders in MS Teams for the repositories he/she has access.
