Scheduled reminders do not show all available repos in "Only select repositories" dropdown #23247
-
When setting up a scheduled reminder for a Team within GitHub, I only want to choose selected repositories to be reminded of (our team has access to 100+ repos - we don’t want notifications for these). But when I choose the ‘Only select repositories’, it lists only 3 repos and it does not list the repos that I want to set reminders for at all. How can I select only a few repos in the scheduled Slack reminders? I’d like to move off of our 3rd party reminder bot, but this is blocking. |

This would be incredibly helpful if it was added to these two pages because I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out why only 1 repository was listed as available to send messages to 😠 - https://help.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-organizations-and-teams/managing-scheduled-reminders-for-your-organization |

I also lost some hours trying to figure out the reason for some repos not been listed. I only found this thread when I started to open a ticket on github support. Would be very helpful to have it highlighted in the Scheduled Reminders Wiki: https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/organizing-members-into-teams/managing-scheduled-reminders-for-your-team |

Having issues with this, not being able to list any repos at all:
No repos are listed or if I pick all repos, saving the settings gives me:
I do not have visibility on the organization settings, but I didn't see anything in the documentation other than the Slack integration itself at the org-level. Thoughts on what step/setting is missing to make this work? |

EDIT: OK You need an admin to configure the slack plugin itself, but the team does NOT need to have admin access to the repo. |

Hi @jennifer-shehane,
Thank you for being here! It might be useful to check that the Slack App installation includes all repositories you wish to configure to send scheduled reminders for pull requests. The repositories shown in the drop down list are the result of performing a union of all repositories where the team has
admin
permissions, and those which have the Slack App installed.
