Search for “Start a Doozy” in the Slack Search box and select it.

• What channel should we post in?

Choose which channel should we announce the birthdays in.

• What time should we post in a channel?

Choose what time should we post (in your local time).

• When should we post celebrations?

  • On the day: We’ll post every weekday about the birthdays that day. On Friday we’ll share Friday’s, Saturday’s, and Sunday’s birthdays.

  • Start of the week: We’ll share all birthdays happening that week on Monday.

• Notify managers a week before: We’ll automatically notify managers about direct report’s birthdays a week before.

• Notify other users a week before: Other users who we should notify about every birthday e.g. CEO, Head of Employee Experience, your People Team, etc.

To make the most of Celebrations, follow the instructions to securely connect Doozy to your HRIS. It only takes a minute to do.

This will allow us to sync key dates like birthdays and anniversaries, as well as enable us to trigger manager notifications for upcoming dates.

They can share the digital card, directly from Slack, and send it to the rest of the team to be signed.

We’ll post in your chosen channel, and everyone can see the signed card and add their own personal message if they’ve not done so yet. A really great way to make someone feel special!
