Save customer birthdays and other custom dates
Add annual dates and notes to a customer record and find them in Calendar.
Open Customers, choose the customer's record, and find Custom Dates. Use these for birthdays, anniversaries and other dates you want to remember.
- Select the add-date control and choose a label or enter the date's name.
- Choose Month and Day. Year is optional; enter it when that detail is useful.
- Add Notes for context, then save the date. Check the saved entry before closing the customer record.
- Use the entry's edit or delete control to correct or remove it. Changes to these entries save through their own actions.
- Check Calendar for the customer's date. Calendar places custom dates by month and day each year; entering a year does not make the event appear only in that original year.
A custom date is a reminder in your customer records and Calendar. It does not create an order, reserve capacity, send a birthday campaign or authorize promotional messages. To offer a birthday promotion, compose and review a blast yourself using an appropriate audience and consented channel.
If a date is missing from the month you expect, reopen the customer and verify the month/day and saved entry. Check Calendar's visible dates and display controls. Custom dates are separate from fulfillment blocks and weekly opening hours; adding a birthday does not close the day to orders.
