Set a single reminder on all week days

Question

Thanks to Slack Help center, I'm able to set a reminder on specific days but not on all week days.

My question is: How to set a single reminder on all week day ?

Something like this:

/remind @channel "It's time for daily stand up !" Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday at 11:45am

~~I found a workaround but it's not really satisfying: set one reminder each day.~~

I found the params I missed : every weekday

Answer :

/remind @channel "It's time for daily stand up !" every weekday at 11:45am

Edit : Slack Help Center has been updated and now contains tons of reminders examples with parameters !

Is there a similar keyword for hourly reminders maybe? – Islam Azab Feb 20 '18 at 12:14

Important here is the quotes - without them, Slack thinks that "every weekday" is part of the [reminder] parameter rather than part of the then [when] parameter – Anson Kao Nov 05 '18 at 16:14
Is there a way to set a reminder till a particular date? Like a recurring reminder until 12/31/2019? For ex: /remind me to drink water at 10.00 everyday until 12/31 ? – Siva Jul 03 '19 at 05:36
That sound stange (at least for french people like me) that "every weekday" would not include saturday and sunday... I was looking for every "business day" or "workdays" or "working day"... Are you sure that "every weekday" is not 7/7 ? – pimpin Jan 21 '20 at 09:25
@pimpin I can confirm every weekday executes as Monday to Friday using slackbot but I can understand the literal translation confusion. Perhaps the bot creator didn't want to deal with handling countries where work days are not the assumed Western Monday-Friday, like in the Middle East.. – myol May 12 '21 at 07:32
Mine didn't work because I accidentally wrote the command in bold test styling. Remove all styling when doing the command. – basickarl Aug 22 '22 at 11:12

You can also list them:

/remind @channel "It's time for daily stand up !" at 11:45am every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

however if you run /remind list, you can find out that it is visible as simplified:

Remind @channel “It's time for daily stand up !” at 11:45 every weekday

when I typed weekday, it decided to set it for Monday only! – David G Sep 03 '18 at 09:57

/remind someone to "Message" at time every weekday

Note : Someone can be replaced with @channel or @person or #channel above.
