## Messages to send Mindie
- Before the laptop warranty ends: "Remind me on 1 August 2027 at 7pm that my laptop warranty ends on 15 August, check the battery"

- Keep the details: "Note: TV bought 3 March 2026, 2-year warranty, serial number on the back"

A warranty expiry reminder on WhatsApp is a message a few weeks before a warranty runs out. With Mindie, send "remind me on 1 August 2027 at 7pm that my laptop warranty ends on 15 August, check the battery" and it arrives in time to act.

Faults that have been building for months get reported a week after the warranty ends. A reminder beforehand is the nudge to test the thing and claim while it's still free.

## When to be reminded

- **Two to four weeks before expiry,** to test and claim if needed.
- **When you buy,** to save the receipt and details as a note.
- **For extended warranties,** before the renewal offer arrives.

## Why claims get missed

- **Nobody remembers when they bought it.** The date is on a receipt in a drawer.
- **Small faults get ignored.** A battery that drains fast feels normal after a while.
- **The receipt goes missing,** and the claim gets harder.

## Habits that help

- **Photo the receipt at the till.** Send it to Mindie and save the details as a note.
- **Test before the date.** Battery, buttons, ports, anything that's been a bit odd.
- **Keep one warranty list** with each item and its end date.

## How Mindie handles it

Send the end date, or a photo of the receipt and the warranty length. Mindie confirms the reminder and messages you ahead of time. Ask for your warranty notes or list any time you need a serial number or purchase date.

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It doesn't file claims** or contact the seller.
- **It doesn't read your email** for receipts. Send them to Mindie yourself.
- **It doesn't message anyone else.** Reminders come to your own chat only.

## FAQ

### How early before the expiry should I be reminded?
Two to four weeks gives you time to test the item properly and contact the maker if something is wrong.

### Can I set it from a photo of the receipt?
Yes. Send the receipt and tell Mindie how long the warranty is. It sets the reminder and can keep the details as a note.

### Can Mindie file the warranty claim?
No. It reminds you; the claim is made with the seller or manufacturer.

### What should I do before a warranty ends?
Test the product and note any faults while you can still claim. A reminder a month before gives you time to do that.

### Can I save where I put the receipt?
Yes. Send a note like "the dishwasher receipt is in the blue folder", and ask for it when you need it.
