How to add your birthday
Reminders, polls and everyday tools · Updated
New to OcelotBOT? It's a free Discord bot, add it to your server first to follow along.
To add your birthday to Discord you need to use a Discord bot. OcelotBOT keeps a list of the birthdays in your server and can post a message in a channel of your choice whenever it's somebody's birthday.
First, you or the server admin needs to add OcelotBOT to your server. Then you can add your own birthday, and everyone else's, with the /birthdays add slash command.
Add your birthday
Type /birthdays add and put your birthday in the date option. You can write it however you'd say it out loud, and you don't need to include the year.
- /birthdays adddate9th February
Big P used /birthdays addOcelotBOT🎉 Birthday added!
Discord requires everybody to be at least 13, so OcelotBOT won't save a date that would make someone younger than that.
Add someone else's birthday
Fill in the optional adduser option to add a birthday for another member of the server:
- /birthdays addadduser@Big Pdate9th February
- Big P used /birthdays addOcelotBOT
🎉 Birthday added!
For someone who isn't on Discord, like a family member, use /birthdays add-nonuser with a name and a date.
See everyone's birthdays
/birthdays listshows every birthday in the server, soonest first./birthdays get user:@Big Pshows when one person's birthday is and how long is left until it.
Get birthday messages in a channel
Birthday announcements are posted in a channel you pick. Anyone with the Manage Channels permission can set it:
- /birthdays setchannelname#birthdays
Leave name empty to use the channel you are typing in. To stop the announcements, run /birthdays setchannel clear:clear. OcelotBOT checks for birthdays once a day in the morning.
Remove or change a birthday
Run /birthdays remove to delete your own birthday. If you have the Manage Channels permission you can remove someone else's with the usertoremove option. To change a date, remove the old one first and then add the new one.
Birthday command not working?
Make sure OcelotBOT is in your server and that its slash commands show up when you type /. If they don't, follow our guide to missing slash commands.
