Add Birthday Data

For each contact, add their birthday in the profile details or import it from your phone contacts.

Tip: Enable contact sync to auto-import birthdays from your phone
2

Enable Birthday Reminders

Go to CRM Settings and turn on Birthday Reminders. Choose how many days in advance to be notified.

Tip: 3-day advance notice gives you time to prepare a personal message
3

Customize Your Message Templates

Create birthday message templates for different contact types (clients, partners, colleagues).

Tip: Keep messages warm and personal rather than generic and corporate
4

Choose Delivery Channel

Select how you want to be reminded: push notification, email digest, or both.

Tip: Morning push notifications work best so you can send wishes during business hours
5

Send Personalized Wishes

When the reminder arrives, use the template as a base and add a personal touch before sending.

Tip: Mentioning a shared project or recent win makes the message more meaningful
