How to create a rememory recurring reminder which can send a reminder to me/space every friday at 3 pm until end of year ?

Create a script that is triggered by Cron or the task planner. That one could use https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/v1/messages/create-a-message to post a message. A bot would be sufficient

Thank you for your reply. I'm trying to see if it is possible to do with Rememory Webex bot

Sure, that should work as well. Thought you need some additional features or your app should control the message creation etc.

For reference the link to the apphub: https://apphub.webex.com/applications/rememory-cisco-systems-20307

Repeating reminders work off of intervals rather than days of the week so when creating you would do every 7 days or every 1 week.
You could send a command like this:

Remind me to Send Documents on April 21st at 3:00 pm every 1 week until 3pm on December 31st 2023

The initial date you provide, in the above case April 21st, sets the start of the intervals. April 21st is a Friday so it would trigger again in one week from that data/time which should be the following Friday.

Rememory didn't recognize that phrase.

It's because somehow you copied the text as:
<code>Remind me to Send Documents on April 21st at 3:00 pm every 1 week until 3pm on December 31st 2023</code>

Guessing your browser caused that as the command I send was in a code block and that formatting was preserved when you copied rather than just copying the plain text. Try just the text without the <code> parts at the beginning and end.
