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.
  1. Open Doozy from your Slack sidebar
  2. Select Celebrations
  3. Choose Your birthday or Your anniversary
