📅 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 haven’t already
Connect your HRIS to automatically sync anniversary dates and enable manager notifications!
🔧 Troubleshooting
Why wasn’t someone’s anniversary posted?
- Check that their start date/anniversary is recorded in Doozy
- Verify they haven’t opted out of anniversary celebrations
- Ensure they’re a member of the celebrations channel in Slack
How do I update someone’s anniversary date?
- 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
⭐ Best Practices
- Connect your HRIS - Auto-sync dates and enable manager notifications
- Choose a visible channel - Use a general or company-wide channel
- Customize your message - Make it feel personal with template variables
- Enable cards - Digital cards make celebrations more meaningful
- Notify managers early - Gives them time to prepare something special
