After the Mantiki release on 2nd February. Customers are now able to add Reminders to their account on the Website, meaning they get a notification on the Website and email communication when the event is coming up.

When a customer logs in on the Website, the My Account drop down will look like this -

By default, the notifications tick box is turned on, meaning that unless a customer unticks this, they will receive a website notification, and emails reminding them about upcoming reminders.
When a customer adds a notification, a popup will appear with various pre-set Occasions, including some 'fixed date' reminders such as Mother's Day, and the option to add their own. Some options show a 'Relationship' field when selected.
A customer cannot add a Reminder that is due more than 12 months in advance.
'Fixed Date' reminders do not have a name or relationship field and the date cannot be amended.
