Content workflows have a lot of moving parts - juggling blog posts, social media, website updates, and approvals in a busy team feels like playing a game of “Who Was Supposed to Do That?”

At Lively Apps, we build tools to make Confluence more useful and less stressful. And yes, we use our own app, Task Reminder for Confluence, to stay organized and move quickly across all our content tasks.

Here’s how we do it.

The Problem

We’ve got a small team wearing a lot of hats. One person drafts a blog post. Another needs to review it. Someone else updates the website. And who’s scheduling that LinkedIn post again?

Those used to be a common questions, until we added Task Reminder to our workflow. Now we are  certain that no such things happen anymore and everyone has their defined responsibilities.

We were and still are doing all this in Confluence, but without any reminder system, tasks easily get forgotten, things get delayed, and everyone assumes someone else needs to take the responsibility.

Turns out, we needed something to keep everything on track

The Solution

Enter Task Reminder. Our app that sends Slack or email nudges when tasks in Confluence pages are due (or overdue). No new tool. No micromanaging. Just timely, polite reminders that say:

“Hey, that post is due today - do your thing. 👀”

Steal our strategy

✍️ Event Plannings

While events like the Team’25 are so much fun, you all know the planning and organization skills it takes to make sure all deadlines are met and the tasks for it completed. With Task Reminder your team can create quick and easy to-do lists, especially when a lighter, faster task list makеs more sense than a full project board.

📨 Nudges That Actually Work

We use both Slack and email reminders, but personally, I’m a Slack fan, the pings are instant and perfectly timed. It’s like having a little productivity assistant who never forgets. This way my work day starts with a clear overview of what I need to prioritize.

📱 Social Media Workflow

Someone has an idea?

Before, posts would sometimes get stuck in review. Now, with clear assignments in Confluence and Task Reminder, everything moves smoothly from idea to scheduled post.

This method has become our go-to for everything content-related - it’s fast, reliable, and honestly, it has helped us keep everything visible, timely, and dependable - even when things move fast.

If your team lives in Confluence and juggles content tasks like we do - Task Reminder might just be your new favorite teammate.
