Adding a birthday feature to your Discord server can be a fun way to celebrate and show appreciation for your members. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to add a birthday to your Discord server.
Step 1: Create a Birthday Role
To start, you need to create a special role for birthdays. This role will be automatically assigned to members on their birthday.
- Open your Discord server settings: Click on the server name at the top left of the screen, then select “Server Settings”.
- Navigate to Roles: On the left-hand sidebar, click on “Roles”.
- Create a new role: Click on the “+” button next to “Roles” and enter a name for your birthday role, like “Birthday Person”. You can also choose a color for the role if you want.
- Save changes: Once you’ve created the role, click on “Save Changes” at the bottom of the page.
Step 2: Install and Set Up Birthday Bot
In order to automate birthday celebrations in your Discord server, we will use a bot called Birthday Bot. Follow these steps to install and set it up:
- Invite Birthday Bot: Go to the Birthday Bot page on top.gg and click on “Invite”. Select your server from the drop-down menu and authorize the bot.
- Set up permissions: After inviting the bot, make sure it has necessary permissions like managing roles and sending messages in the server.
- Configure the bot: Type “!config” in a text channel where the bot is present.
This will open the configuration wizard.
- Follow the wizard: The configuration wizard will guide you through setting up your desired birthday message, channel, and role. Make sure to select the role you created earlier.
- Save changes: Once you’ve completed the configuration, save your changes and your server is ready to celebrate birthdays!
Step 3: Celebrate Birthdays!
Now that you have set up everything, Birthday Bot will automatically assign the birthday role to members on their special day and send a celebratory message in the designated channel. Members can enjoy birthday wishes and join in on the celebration!
Tips for Customization:
If you want to further customize your birthday celebrations, here are a few tips:
- Customize birthday messages: You can modify the default birthday message by using variables such as {user} for mentioning the member or {age} for displaying their age.
- Create additional roles: If you want to distinguish different age groups or add special perks for birthdays, you can create additional roles and configure Birthday Bot accordingly.
- Add custom emojis: Make your birthday wishes even more lively by adding custom emojis to your celebratory message.
With these steps and customization options, you can now enhance your Discord server by adding a fun and interactive way to celebrate birthdays. Have a blast celebrating with your community!
