## Messages to send Mindie
- On report day: "Every Monday at 9am remind me to send the weekly report"
- A heads-up the day before: "Every Friday at 5pm remind me to collect numbers for Monday's report"
- Collecting wins during the week: "Note for the weekly report: closed the Acme renewal, 2 new leads from the webinar"

A weekly report reminder on WhatsApp is a message on report day that prompts you to write and send it. With Mindie, send "every Monday at 9am remind me to send the weekly report" and it arrives every Monday.

The hard part of a weekly report isn't sending it. It's remembering what happened. By Monday, last Tuesday's win is already fuzzy, so the report ends up thinner than the week was.

## When to set it

- **On report day,** early enough to write it before meetings start.
- **The working day before,** to gather numbers while the people you need are still around.
- **During the week,** no reminder needed: just send notes as things happen.

## Why reports are late or thin

- **Monday mornings are full.** The report competes with everything else that starts the week.
- **The week is forgotten.** Without notes, you rebuild it from email and calendar.
- **Numbers come from others.** Waiting for someone's figures on Monday morning delays everything.

## Make it write itself

- **Note wins as they happen.** "Note for the weekly report: closed the Acme renewal" takes five seconds.
- **Ask for the notes on report day.** Mindie returns everything you saved this week.
- **Use the same structure each week:** done, next, blocked. It makes the report quick to write and easy to read.

## How Mindie handles it

Set the reminder once and Mindie messages you every week. Collect notes as you go with [WhatsApp notes](/features/whatsapp-notes), then ask for them when you write. Mindie's own [weekly recap](/features/weekly-recap) on Sundays also shows which of your reminders are still open.

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It doesn't write the report** or send it to anyone.
- **It doesn't pull data** from your work tools.

## FAQ

### Can Mindie collect notes for my report during the week?
Yes. Send each update as a note when it happens, then ask Mindie for this week's report notes when you write it.

### What is Mindie's weekly recap?
Every Sunday Mindie sends a short summary of your week in Mindie: reminders done and still open. It's about your own reminders, not a report for your team.

### Does Mindie send the report to my manager?
No. Mindie only messages you.

### Which day works best?
Pick a time before the report is due, like Friday at 2pm, so you've still got time to ask anyone for missing details.

### Can Mindie give me my notes for the week?
Yes. Start each note with "report:", then ask for your report notes before you write. Turning them into the report is up to you.
