Update an existing reminder linked to a person, company or deal, updating only the provided fields and leaving the rest of the reminder’s data unchanged. Changing the linked entity of a reminder is not supported. If you want to change the entity, you need to delete the reminder and create a new one.

​
Recurrence rule

The recurrence rules format is based on the iCalendar standard. However, we don’t support the full spec, but only a subset of the features. The format of the recurrence must be the following: 
DTSTART;TZID=<timezone>:<date>T<time>
RRULE:<recurrence parameters>
For example, a reminder that should be triggered every week at 9:00 AM Paris time, starting on July 17th 2025 would be: 
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250717T090000
RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1
You can find a list of timezone identifiers here.
There must always be a newline between the DTSTART and RRULE lines.In JSON encoding, the newline is represented as \n. The previous example would be encoded as:
{
  "recurrenceRule": "DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250717T090000\nRRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1"
}
Only the following recurrence parameters are supported:
  • No repeat: RRULE:COUNT=1
  • Every weekday: RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR;INTERVAL=1
  • Every week: RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1
  • Every 2 weeks: RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=2
  • Every month: RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=1
  • Every quarter: RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=3
  • Every year: RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1
Supplying any other type of recurrence will result in a validation error.
If you want to update a one-off reminder that has a next trigger date that has passed, you must provide a new recurrence rule. Otherwise, the update will be rejected and a BAD_REQUEST error will be returned.

​
Visibility

The visibility of the reminder can be set to public or private.
  • public: The reminder is visible to all users in the workspace.
  • private: The reminder is visible only to the current user.
If the visibility is changed to public, you can provide a list of users to be notified when the reminder is triggered. If the visibility is changed to private, the current user is automatically notified. When changing the visibility of the reminder, the assigned users can be affected in the following way:
  • from private to public: The assigned users is automatically set to the current user.
  • from public to private: The assigned users is kept as the current user, unless you also provide a new list of users to be notified.
