How do you add reminder alerts for approaching deadlines to issues?

Hi @Tracy Ji and welcome to the community!

Personally, I would add a subscription filter, since it's a built in Jira functionality. You can read more here https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/work-with-search-results/#:~:text=.-,Subscribe%20to%20search%20results,-A%20subscription%20provides

So basically you would create a JQL statement similar to:

assignee in (currentUser()) AND due >= "0" AND due <= 6d ORDER BY due DESC

You would then save the filter and create a subscription for all users you want to be notified.

Let me know if that works out for you.

Hi @Alex Koxaras -Relational- !  Thank you so much for responding!  However, I'm not exactly following.  I have a web version of Jira through my organization, so I wonder if there are limitations?  I'm not a coder/programmer/etc. so I'm not sure where to create a JQL statement.  Any guidance would be helpful.  Thank you!
