Using Claude Code to automate ReminderIt workflows

Claude Code is Anthropic's AI coding assistant. Combined with the ReminderIt REST API and an API key, it can help you automate reminder workflows that would be tedious to set up manually — bulk creation from a list, dynamic scheduling based on data, or integrating reminders into a larger automation.

The ReminderIt REST API

Every action available in the MCP server and the dashboard is also available via the REST API at api.reminderit.com. Authenticate with X-API-Key: rmt_your_key. The main endpoints: POST /reminders (create), GET /reminders (list), PATCH /reminders/{id} (update), DELETE /reminders/{id}, POST /recipients (add care recipient).

Asking Claude Code to bulk-create reminders

Open Claude Code and describe what you need: "I have a CSV of patients with their medication times. Write a Python script that reads the CSV and calls the ReminderIt API to create a daily medication reminder for each one." Claude Code will write the script, handle the API authentication, and format the cron expressions correctly.

Dynamic scheduling from external data

Because Claude Code can write scripts that call any API, you can build dynamic reminder workflows: read appointment times from a Google Sheet, create a reminder 24 hours before each one, and send the results to Slack. This is the kind of workflow that would normally require a full-time developer — with Claude Code it's an afternoon project.

Caregiver workflow automation

Care homes and small caregiver teams often need to send reminder calls to many people on different schedules. Claude Code can write a management script that reads a resident list, creates recipients via the ReminderIt API, and assigns medication and appointment reminders to each one — turning a manual setup process into a one-command operation.
