Custom celebrations
Custom celebrations let you open a wish board for any occasion Empuls doesn’t already track — for example, a certification, a project launch, a team farewell, or a promotion. You pick the occasion, the celebrant(s), and the date, then teammates post wishes just like they would for a birthday. Custom celebrations appear on the Celebrations page under the Others tab, alongside Birthdays, Work anniversaries, and New joiners.Your admin controls who can view and who can create custom celebrations. If you don’t see the Others tab or the Create event button, your role isn’t enabled for that action.
Create a custom celebration
1
Open the Others tab
Go to Home > Celebrations and select the Others tab.

Start a new event
Select Create event.

Pick an occasion
Choose an occasion from the dropdown, or type a new one to add it — for example, Farewell party, Promotion, or Certification. Occasion names can be up to 50 characters. New occasions you add become available to everyone in your company for future celebrations.

Add celebrants and the event date

Add a short message (optional)
Add a board subtitle of up to 100 characters to give the wish board more context, such as the reason for the celebration.

Add editors (optional)
Search and add editors who can update the event later — a co-organizer who may need to adjust the date, add celebrants, or change the message.
7
Turn on auto-invite (optional)
Enable Auto-send invite to peers to notify the celebrants’ teammates when the event is created. You can also invite additional participants at any time after the board opens.

Manage a custom celebration
If you created the event (or you’re listed as an editor), open the event card and select Edit to change:- Occasion name
- Event date
- Celebrants

Invite more participants
After a custom celebration is live, open its wish board and use Invite to notify additional teammates. This is separate from Auto-send invite to peers, which only fires once when the event is created.Filtering custom celebrations
Custom celebrations follow the same relevance rules as built-in ones. When you switch the Celebrations page to My circle, My site, My department, My cost center, or My business unit, only custom celebrations whose celebrants match that filter appear on the Others tab.Signature pages
Some wish boards include a signature page where colleagues can sign digitally. Click Sign on the wish board to add your signature. All signatures are compiled into the yearbook alongside the wishes.Yearbook
When the celebration window ends, Empuls automatically compiles every wish, photo, GIF, and signature into a page-by-page yearbook you can keep and download.When you get a yearbook

- Each work anniversary
