MangoApps Automation makes it easy to set up automatic birthday and work anniversary messages for employees. These automations help foster a positive workplace culture by recognizing special occasions.
The Automations menu provides several options for managing automated messages.
The Show menu allows you to filter and view different types of automation rules. You can choose from:
All: Displays all created automations.
Anniversary: Shows all workplace anniversary automations.
Birthday: Lists all birthday automations.
The Settings menu enables customization of the sender details for automated special occasion messages.
Change the sender's Name and Picture to personalize who the message appears to be from. By default, messages come from the "Happiness Manager" but can be customized so the sender appears as the head of HR, the CEO, or any other person.
Click Save once changes are made.
This option allows admins to create a new automation rule for birthdays or work anniversaries. Setting up a rule ensures timely and consistent recognition for employees on their special days.
Create a new automation rule by selecting Birthday or Anniversary from the dropdown menu.
The Toggle function lets admins enable or disable an automation rule within the domain without the need to delete it. This allows flexibility in managing which messages are currently active.
The three-dot menu provides additional options for modifying automation rules:
Edit: Modify the automation rules and behavior.
Delete: Remove an automation rule (only available for creators or domain admins).
Setting up a new automation rule ensures that birthday and anniversary messages are sent out automatically based on predefined conditions.
