Reminders are logged as a system activity in the the Activity Log, without a user associated to the action.

Please note: 

- Manual reminders cannot be sent for the same task within a 5 minute period
- If a user was already sent a manual reminder, users will see a prompt and need to confirm they want to send an additional reminder
