A customized happy birthday message can now be automatically emailed to people on their birthday. You'll format it just like an email so it can include a message, images, links, and more.
This task runs daily at 9am, emailing those who have a birthday that day
Setting Up Your Automated Birthday Emails
- Go to the Account Settings (
) > Automations - Click "+ Add Task"
- Select "Birthday Email"
- Select the "Send To" options by choosing either everyone in your database or a selection of tags
- Choose who the message should send from (any user in the system is eligible to be the sender regardless of permissions)
- Make your subject line (default is "Happy Birthday!")
- Change the content to what you'd like it to read
- Click "Add Task"
The task will run each morning at 9am (local time), emailing each person who has a birthday that day.
After a birthday email is sent out, if it cannot be located in the primary inbox, it is possible that the email is in a spam folder or another mailbox folder in your email.
If people have the "Do Not Email" option selected under their profile, they will still receive the Birthday Email.

- Does not require an email attached to the user
- Does not require email permissions
- If you want multiple emails from different users, must set up multiple tasks
