How do I add Birthday sign-ups manually?

Written by Steve Jones

There may be occasions where you need to add a birthday manually to the Happy Birthday app, for example, you may be speaking with a customer over the phone, or a customer emails you to ask you to add them to your Birthday Club.

You may also just wish to add some test birthdays into Happy Birthday to make sure that the campaign is working as expected or to test that you've enabled one of our integrations correctly.

Adding Birthday sign-ups manually

There are 3 ways you can add a birthday sign-up to Happy Birthday manually:

  1. Via the Happy Birthday app admin area (recommended)

  2. Via the automatically generated Birthday Sign-up Page

  3. Via your custom Birthday sign-up page

Adding a birthday club member via the Happy Birthday app admin area

Select the Members view from the Happy Birthday app menu:

You have just created a new Birthday Sign-up. If you have any linked integrations, then they should receive that contact data shortly.

This manual method of sign-up will be reflected within the Sign up channel column of the Members listing:

Adding a birthday club member via the automatically generated Birthday Sign-up Page

The Birthday Sign-up Page is a dynamic page that is created in your store by the Happy Birthday app. It provides a landing page that allows ANY visitor to your site to sign-up to your Birthday Club, without the need to place an order on your site.

You can also use this page to manually add members to your Birthday Club.

For more information, see our article that covers how to locate the automatically generated Birthday sign-up page.

Adding a birthday club member via your custom Birthday Sign-up Page

If you have already set up a custom Birthday Sign-up Page using the Happy Birthday App block, then you can manually sign up birthday club members via the sign-up form on this page.

If you haven't yet created this custom page, then please see the guides linked below to find out more:
