Celebration reminder emails tell employees ahead of time that a colleague’s birthday or work anniversary is coming up. That gives teammates time to post on the colleague’s wish board before the day. You can turn birthday and work anniversary reminders on separately. For each one, you control the email content, the delivery channel, and how many days in advance Empuls sends it.

​
Before you start

  • You need admin access to the Notifications section of the Admin Dashboard.
  • Employees need a date of birth and date of joining on their profile. These usually come from HRMS sync.
  • To deliver reminders through Slack, Google Chat, or Microsoft Teams, connect a collaboration tool first.

​
Open celebration settings

  1. Click Reports and Admin to open the Admin Dashboard.
  2. Under Notifications, open Manage celebrations.
  3. Select the Birthday or Work anniversary tab.
Each tab has one reminder row: Birthday reminder email or Work anniversary reminder email. The row has a toggle and an Edit button.

​
Turn on a reminder

1

Turn on the toggle

On the Birthday or Work anniversary tab, turn on the toggle next to the reminder email. The Enable reminder dialog opens.

In the dropdown, select how many days before the event Empuls sends the reminder. The options are 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 30 days. You can select more than one to send several reminders.

Enable

Click Enable. Empuls starts sending the reminder for upcoming birthdays or work anniversaries on the days you selected.
If you click Cancel in the dialog, the reminder stays off.

​
Customize the reminder email

The Edit button works only when the reminder is turned on. Click Edit to open the editor. It has two tabs, Email and Delivery settings. A Live preview of the email is shown next to the form.

​
Email tab

To personalize the email, click Insert and pick a placeholder, such as the employee’s first name. Empuls replaces each placeholder with real values when it sends the email. For example:
The list of placeholders comes from the reminder template, so use Insert to see the tokens you can use.

​
Delivery settings tab

Choose a Delivery channel: You can also change which days before the event Empuls sends the reminder: 1, 3, 7, or 30 days. Click Save to apply your changes. The button stays disabled until the subject line, header, body text, CTA button text, and at least one reminder day are filled in.

​
Turn off a reminder

Turn off the toggle next to the reminder email. Empuls stops sending that reminder on every channel.
