# Birthdays

> Track member birthdays and send automated announcements.

The birthdays feature lets your members register their birthday so the bot can post an announcement when the day arrives.

## How it works

Members register their birthday using the `/remember-birthday` command. On their birthday, the bot automatically posts an announcement in a channel you choose.

## Configure birthdays

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open birthday settings">
    Go to the [BrewBot Dashboard](https://brewbot.gg), select your server, and navigate to the **Birthdays** page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the announcement channel">
    Choose the channel where the bot posts birthday announcements.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Customize the message">
    Edit the birthday announcement message to match your server's style.
  </Step>
</Steps>
