Celebrate member birthdays with daily announcements, a temporary role, and custom images.

The native birthdays module detects when it's a member's birthday (from their Discord profile date) and posts an automatic announcement. You can add a temporary birthday role and festive images.
Note: this is different from a custom command like !happybirthday. The native module runs on its own — no one needs to run a command.
Prerequisites
- Access to the dashboard.
- Server timezone in Settings.
- Channel for announcements, e.g.
#birthdays. - (Optional)
@Birthdayrole created in Discord.
Step 1 — Channel and role
- Go to Announcements → Birthdays.
- Select the announcement channel.
- Choose the birthday role (assigned for 24 h to the birthday person).
- Set celebration time based on server timezone.
Step 2 — Celebration message
Customize the announcement:
| Field | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| Message | Text mentioning the birthday person |
| Embed color | #ff5dd6 or another festive color |
| Images | Up to 3 images; Nekotina picks one at random |
Message example:
🎂 Happy birthday {user}! Have an amazing day on **{server}**.
