Overview

Each member saves their own birthday in a server with !birthday set. On that day Petto sends a message in the channel you choose, at the hour you choose, and can give the member a role for the day (taken back a day later). Saving a birthday is optional for everyone, and each server keeps its own list: a birthday saved in one server is not shown in another.

For members

  • The day comes first, then the month. The year is optional: with it, the message can say the age they turn ({age}).
  • Real dates only: there is no 30 February. A 29 February birthday is celebrated on 28 February in years that have no 29th.
  • !birthday view says how many days are left. !birthday upcoming lists the next ones of the server (up to 25). !birthday remove forgets yours.
  • Short names: !bday and !bd.

Variables

The text accepts {user}, {user.mention}, {server} and the other variables, filled for the member who has the birthday. {age} is the age the member turns (empty when they did not say the year) and works in the text, not in a saved embed.
Petto posts in #birthdays: Happy birthday @ivy! You turn 18 today!, and chu congratulates ivy

In Discord: a message the server wrote, with {age}, is sent as it is on the day.

If you use {age}, write the sentence so it still reads well without it, since members who didn’t give a year have no age.
The messages can come from their own name and picture: see Message look, kind birthdays.
