RefNow automatically sends reminder notifications to referees to help ensure references are completed promptly. By default, the system sends one initial email invitation and up to four automatic reminder emails in a 1 day, 2 day, 2 day, 2 day sequence. You can change the reminder pattern for a request at anytime during the request or question profile settings.
