Scheduled reminders for pull requests will send a message to your team in Slack with all open pull requests that you or your team have been asked to review, at a specified time. For example, you can create a scheduled reminder to send a message to your team's main communication channel in Slack, including all open pull requests that the team is requested to review, every Wednesday at 9:00 a.m.\n\nTeam maintainers and organization owners can set scheduled reminders for any pull requests that a team has been requested to review. Before you can create a scheduled reminder for your team, an organization owner must authorize your Slack workspace. For more information, see [Managing scheduled reminders for your organization](/en/organizations/managing-organization-settings/managing-scheduled-reminders-for-your-organization).\n\nEach reminder is only triggered for up to **five** repositories. Users can either select up to five specific repositories, or allow the system to automatically choose the five repositories with the oldest average pull request age. For each repository, up to 20 of the oldest pull requests will be shown.\n\nThis limit is **per reminder configuration** and **per repository owner**. If you want reminders for more than five repositories per owner, you can configure additional reminders.\n\n> \\[!NOTE]\n> Reminders are not sent when changes are merged from upstream into a fork.\n\n## Creating a scheduled reminder for a team\n\n1.
