Setting Up Celebrations

Mellowe automates personalized birthday and work anniversary celebration posts to bring your team together and ensure no one’s special day goes unnoticed.

Celebrations Settings

Requesting Dates from Your Team

Admins can prompt the team to add their dates directly from the dashboard:

Navigate to Settings > Celebrations.
Click Request Dates from Team in the top header.
Mellowe will send a direct Slack prompt to team members with an interactive modal button allowing them to submit their birthday and work anniversary dates in one click.

Celebration Delivery & Scheduling Rules

Delivery Time: All automated celebration posts are sent at 9:00 AM.
Dual Notification: Celebrations post simultaneously in the designated Public Main Channel (e.g. #mellow-out) AND send a personal congratulatory Direct Message (DM) to the celebrating team member.
Weekend Rollover Rule: If a birthday or work anniversary falls on a Saturday or Sunday, Mellowe automatically defers the announcement and sends both the public channel post and the personal DM on Monday at 9:00 AM.

Configuring Celebration Templates (Admin Guide)

Workspace Admins can customize the announcement text and visual graphics for both birthdays and work anniversaries in Settings > Celebrations.
