Pick whichever way fits your team, mix them, or change your mind later. Clipsus only ever needs the month and the day. Never the year.
Clipsus sends each person in your birthday channel a private message with one button: Set my birthday. Two taps and they're done.
Anyone who forgets gets a gentle nudge later, up to three asks in total, always on weekdays during working hours. People who join the channel afterwards are asked automatically. You never chase anyone.
Birthdays living in a spreadsheet or your HR system? Export three columns, email, month, day, then paste them into Clipsus or upload the file.
Clipsus matches every email to the right person in Slack and shows you any it couldn't place, so nothing slips through quietly.
Point Clipsus at a Google Sheet with the same three columns. It reads the sheet once a day: add a new hire to the sheet and they're covered, take someone off and Clipsus lets you know.
The sheet only needs "anyone with the link can view" turned on. Clipsus reads it and never writes to it.
Pick a person, pick the month and day, done. Clipsus lets them know their birthday is in, so there are no surprises.
Handy for the occasional new hire, or for fixing a date that came in wrong.
You can switch methods any time in settings. Birthdays already added stay put.
A shout-out in your channel on the day, a group card everyone signs beforehand, and a private channel to plan the gift, if you've turned those on.
Clipsus never asks for the year, so nobody's age is stored or shown anywhere.
Fix a date, remove it, or opt out of being celebrated altogether, straight from the Clipsus app.
Birthdays are used only to run celebrations in your workspace, and deleted 30 days after you remove the app.
No. It asks at most three times, at least a day apart, on weekdays during working hours. Pressing No thanks stops the asks straight away.
Clipsus shows you exactly which rows it couldn't place. Fix the email in your list, or add that person by hand.
Yes. Paste last year's list today and let Clipsus ask everyone else, or keep a sheet in charge and still let people add their own.
Any HR system can export a spreadsheet, and that's all Clipsus needs. Direct connections to HR systems aren't available yet; if that's a must for you, tell us which one.
Never. The month and day are enough to celebrate, and it means nobody's age is ever stored.
They can opt out from the Clipsus app, and admins can remove anyone's birthday. Nobody has to explain themselves.
Add the birthdays once. Clipsus handles every celebration from then on.
