conditional text message/email reminder?

patelc75 says:
I don't want to get a text message/email reminder on each and every overdue task because I have too many.

Is it possible to trigger the text message or email on a condition such as a 'sms' tag? If not, can you add it as a feature request?

patelc75,
This isn't currently possible; sorry!

But consider it requested. :)

Pardon me while I cue this old macro (and I will say again that I think RTM is simply terrific, just not perfect):

In four years, I can hardly count how many times this natural, entirely reasonable suggestion has been put forward. An incomplete list follows below. While there is a great Gcal workaround (https://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/tips/6517/), it's too roundabout to imagine all new RTM users to set that up, and in the meantime the inadequate flexibility in the current reminder system is surely not helping to win any new users over.

Now that the multi-edit UI issues have been addressed here, I think that reminders may very well be the leading open issue in terms of site functionality here at RTM.

It would be great to see Bob turn his attention to this challenge. I think tags and smartlists lay a foundation for reminders that could be extremely powerful for the end user without being that hard to code.
