Get support to get sh*t done based on where you are
— in the moments you actually need the pings. 🥂
Shelpful's new Auto tab lets you set up little rules that fire at the exact right moment: when you arrive somewhere, when you leave, or when you tap a Smart Tag you've stuck in your space.
Browse the examples below (or filter by vibe). Then head to the Auto tab and build your own in minutes.
The 5 ways Shelpful can nudge you
The "→ do what" side of every rule.
Remind Me in ___
A quiet push after a delay you pick. Delays come in multiples of 5 (5 min, 20 min, 45 min, 5 hrs, 20 days, 5 months…).
Mega-Remind Me
Starts right away and keeps nudging until you tap it off. For when you mean it.
Add to My List
Silent. The item just shows up on your list — no push, no noise.
Ping Me Right Now
Fires a message into your Shelpful chat. Your buddy writes back instantly. The secret weapon.
Motivational Message
You give the prompt (vibe or situation). Shelpful writes the actual pep talk in the moment.
💬 Wait — what IS "Ping Me Right Now"?
Text yourself. Except your buddy answers immediately with something useful.
How a rule gets built
Three quick steps inside the Auto tab.
Trigger
Where / when does this fire?
- 📍 Arrive at a location — address + days + time window
- 🚪 Leave a location — address + days + time window
- 🏷️ Tap a Smart Tag — fires every time you tap it with your phone
Action
Pick one of the 5 actions from above. Fill in the message. For 🔔 Remind Me, pick the delay.
Name it
Give your rule a name so you can find it later. We gave ours punchy ones — yours can be boring.

Shop Smart Tags →Placement tip: NFC tags don't read well through metal, so skip the fridge door. Stick them nearby — on a wood cabinet, a wall, a plastic bin lid, or even inside the fridge on a shelf edge.
