How Jolly works
In this guide, we'll look at how Jolly works in a nutshell. It's a Slack celebration bot, so it's fairly simple, but we wanted to give you a quick overview.
Install and configure Jolly in your Slack organization
Installation takes just a few seconds, and you can fine-tune Jolly to your organization's needs.
Configure in which Slack channels you want Jolly to send celebrations
Jolly can be added to as many Slack channels as you wish and configured to send celebration messages only for channel members.
Collect your team's birthdays and work anniversaries
There are a few ways to get your team's birthday/anniversary information into Jolly.
Let Jolly do its thing
Jolly is now up and running. Lay off the spreadsheet and let Jolly send the joyful celebration messages.
Collect birthdays/anniversaries for new hires
When new people are added to your Slack organization, Jolly will send them a DM, explain what it does, and ask them to enter their birthday and work anniversary.
