Celebration Cards
Digital cards your team can sign with messages, images, GIFs, and more!๐ How It Works
- A week before: Managers (and selected users) are notified about the upcoming anniversary
- Card sharing: Notified users can share the digital card with others to sign
- On the day: Anniversary is announced in your chosen channel with the signed card
- Team participation: Everyone can add their message if they havenโt already
๐ง Troubleshooting
Why wasnโt someoneโs anniversary posted?- Check that their start date/anniversary is recorded in Doozy
- Verify they havenโt opted out of anniversary celebrations
- Ensure theyโre a member of the celebrations channel in Slack
- If connected to an HRIS, update it in your HR system and it will sync automatically
- Otherwise, update the date from Celebrations in the Doozy dashboard - see Manage Celebrations
