Control all aspects of your team’s celebrations — update settings, manage team member dates, pause automations, or let individuals opt out.
👤 Opt Out of Celebrations (As a User)
Team members can opt out of having their own birthday or anniversary celebrated.
- Open Doozy from your Slack sidebar
- Select Celebrations
- Choose Your birthday or Your anniversary
- Click Opt out
Opting out only hides your celebration — you’ll still see others’ celebrations in channels.
📅 Manage Team Dates
Admins can view, edit, or request missing dates for any team member.
How to Access
- Open Doozy from your Slack sidebar
- Select Celebrations
- Choose Manage team dates
Available Actions
| Action | Description |
|---|
| Edit birthday | Change a team member’s birthday using the date picker |
| Edit anniversary | Change a team member’s work anniversary date |
| Opt out for them | Exclude a team member from birthday or anniversary celebrations |
| Ask them to add it | Send a prompt asking the team member to enter their own date |
Use “Ask them to add it” when you don’t know someone’s date — they’ll receive a friendly prompt to enter it themselves.
