How to Skip Weekend Birthday Announcements

By default, CultureBot can announce birthdays on the exact day, even if it falls on a weekend. But sometimes teams prefer to avoid weekend notifications and instead celebrate on a weekday (like Friday or Monday). Here’s how you can adjust this setting.

Step 1: Open the Birthday Celebrations Settings

1. Go to the CultureBot app in Slack or Teams
   1. In Slack: Choose Birthdays from the Feature Dropdown
   2. In Teams: Choose "Celebrations" from the Side Navigation

Step 2: Choose When to Send

Under Select when to send, you’ll see a dropdown menu with options:

• On day of birthday (default)
• On day of, skip weekends
• On Mondays only
• First Monday of every month

Step 3: Save Your Settings

Click Save to confirm your changes. From now on, CultureBot will automatically adjust birthday announcements based on your chosen preference.

⚠️ Note: Only Admin users in CultureBot can adjust this setting. If you don’t see the option, contact one of your workspace admins and ask them to make the change for you. Learn more about user permissions (including how to create birthday admins) here: Permissions Guide.
