Birthdays

Members save their own birthday, and on the day Voltcord posts a greeting card in your birthday channel: their avatar, a piece of birthday art and a 🎉 Wish button everyone can press. Available on every paid plan.

Saving Your Birthday

Run /birthday set and pick your month and day. The year is optional and stays private: it is only used to show your age on the card if your server turns that on. Only you see the reply, with ✏️ Edit and 🗑 Remove buttons under it. To change it later, run /birthday edit with no options and a form opens with your date already filled in. You can change your own birthday once every 30 days. A 29 February birthday gets its card on 28 February in years that aren't leap years.

Everyone's Birthdays

/birthday list shows every saved birthday, soonest first, ten to a page, with how many days are left. It shows day and month only and never pings anyone. Your own birthday is the last line. ◀ Prev and Next ▶ turn the pages (only for the person who ran it), 🎂 Add mine or ✏️ Edit mine opens the form, and a month menu jumps to any month. /birthday today lists today's birthdays with a link to each card.

The Greeting Card

At your server's post time (midnight, in your server's time zone), each member with a birthday that day gets their own card in the birthday channel. The member is mentioned above it, the thumbnail is always their avatar, and the big image is one of ten built-in artworks or your own picture. Pressing 🎉 Wish adds your wish to the count in the footer, and pressing again takes it back. If you set a birthday role, the member wears it for 24 hours. A server can also add a birthday gift of points to the member's balance.

Setting It Up

Open /settings → 🎂 Birthdays. Pick the birthday channel (that switches greetings on), an optional birthday role, the post time (the page shows it in your own time too) and the artwork. Your server's time zone is set on the dashboard's Birthdays page; it decides both the post time and which date counts as today, so a server in Dhaka gets its cards at Dhaka midnight. Servers that never pick one use UTC. ✏️ Edit Card changes the title, the message, the text above the card, a custom image and the gift; {member}, {name}, {server} and {age} fill themselves in, and a cleared field goes back to the default. 🎂 Show Age turns ages on, and 🧪 Send Test posts a sample card with no role or gift. Admins with Manage Server can fix anyone's birthday with the member option on set, edit and remove. If a card can't be posted or the role can't be given, it goes to your General audit channel. The dashboard's Birthdays page edits the same settings.
