Smart birthday reminders in Slack

What’s it for?

Do you forget your coworkers' birthdays constantly due to your busy schedule? It's time for you to solve this problem. Today is the last day for forgotten birthdays and broken hearts. 

You can collect birthdays and celebrate them on time with the help of smart birthday reminders. Send your wishes either publicly or privately in Slack using Actioner!

How it works

• Actioner sends an introductory message to the Slack channel selected for birthday celebrations and a direct message to users in this channel. Your team can add their birthdays through the notifications sent by Actioner, enabling you to effortlessly collect birthdays of your co-workers in Slack.
• You can opt out of celebrations by keeping your birthday private.
• The time to celebrate birthdays is entirely up-to-you. You can select your preferred celebration time during setup.
• You can select when you want to remind your team of upcoming birthdays. Actioner sends reminders to your team about upcoming birthdays, a day and a week before and lets them prepare beforehand for the big day!
• Actioner posts a congratulatory message on your celebration channel when it's someone's birthday and lets everyone join the celebration. Actioner also kindly reminds you of your teammate’s birthday through a direct message and lets you write your message and decorate it with a GIF, or use Actioner's ready made templates!🎂
