Can I set multiple reminders for one contact?

Yes. You can add as many individual birthday, anniversary, or custom task reminders to a contact as needed.

What happens if I miss a reminder?

Missed reminders are flagged as overdue on your Reminder dashboard (e.g. "3 days overdue") until you mark them complete or reschedule them.
