Ricotta Birthday Bot

Ricotta Birthday Bot automates your team's special days so you can focus on building culture not tracking dates.

*⚡ Setup takes under 2 minutes*

Pick a celebration channel or group chat, customize the settings and add your team's birthdays via Excel or Auto-collect via DM, and you're done. One-time setup is all you need to keep the celebrations going.

*📢 Channel-based celebrations*

Send birthday notifications and anniversary celebrations to the right celebration channels or group chats.

*📥 Collect birthdays in three ways*

- Import via Excel: Upload your team's birthday and work anniversary dates in one file.

- Auto-collect via DM: The bot privately messages each teammate to collect their dates.

- Add manually: Enter dates one person at a time from the dashboard.

Once birthdays are collected, Ricotta handles every announcement from there.

*🛠️ Smart admin dashboard, right inside Microsoft Teams*

Ricotta gives admins a dedicated dashboard to manage everything in one place:

1. Celebration time, timezone, and channel settings

2. Content packs and GIF preferences

3. Birthday and anniversary collection

4. License and admin management

5. Upcoming celebrations preview

6. Holiday and weekend scheduling

7. Opted-out users

*🎨 Four content packs to match your team's culture*

- Classic: Thoughtful and professional.

- Fun & Playful: High-energy, confetti strongly encouraged.

- Warm & Fuzzy: Heartfelt and community-focused.

*📅 Smart weekend & holiday scheduling*

Birthday falls on a Saturday or a public holiday? Automatically celebrate on the Friday before or the Monday after. Sync with your custom holiday calendar to let the app know when the office is closed.

*🎖️ Work anniversaries, on autopilot*

Add hire dates once. The bot tracks every milestone automatically. No spreadsheet maintenance, no missed anniversaries.

We prioritize employee comfort. Teammates have total autonomy to opt out of celebrations.
