FAQs
What is the difference between automated and manual gifts?
What is the difference between automated and manual gifts?
Automated gifts are triggered by rules you configure in Empuls — birthdays, work anniversaries, onboarding completions, and similar milestones fire automatically without HR intervention. Manual gifts are sent directly by HR or managers for ad-hoc occasions like contests, festivals, or special appreciations.
Can I verify whether a specific employee received their birthday or anniversary gift?
Can I verify whether a specific employee received their birthday or anniversary gift?
Yes. Use the gifting summary table and filter by employee name. The table shows each gift type (birthday, service anniversary, onboarding, and other), the points value sent, and delivery status. You can also use the automated gifts report to confirm how many times each automation rule fired.
