Birthday wishes on Discord

Members save their own birthday and DogMate posts wishes with an animated card at the time you choose. Every reaction adds that person's name to the card, so everyone sees who remembered.

Step by step

1. Turn on birthdays. In the dashboard open Birthdays and switch the module on.
2. Pick the channel and the time. Wishes go out every day at the hour you set, in your server's time zone (you can change it with /timezone).
3. Let members add their date. Everyone types:

   /birthday set day:15 month:10

   The year is optional. Add it only if you want the age shown.
4. Check the list. /birthday list shows today's and upcoming birthdays, and /birthday show shows your own saved date.

Extras you can turn on

• Birthday role for the day, for example @Birthday.
• Monthly overview: on the 1st of each month a graphic with everyone's birthdays that month.
• A keepsake by DM: late in the evening the birthday person gets the card with the names of everyone who sent wishes.
• Change limit: how often a date can be changed, for example once every 90 days, so nobody has a birthday every week.

Privacy

Nobody has to share their birthday. Each person decides with /birthday set and can delete the date at any time with /birthday remove.

Common problems

Wishes came at the wrong hour

Set your server's time zone with /timezone, for example Europe/London.

The birthday role is not given

Drag the DogMate role above the birthday role in your server settings.
