Would like Birthday emails

[JanetF69010]

Can you please add a way where we can enter contacts' birthdays and have a birthday email automatically go out to them on their birthdays? Or at least create a way where we can send out birthday messages simply without having to create a custom list for each day?

Worked perfectly! Thanks for doing the leg-work!

It's a little silly that Constant Contact doesn't already have this built in.

Any progress yet on the ability to send emails scheduled for either birthday or the month of their birthday?  Its the only reason I cancelled years back and moved to other software but I reall miss all your other great features and want to return as soon as its available.  Please let me know if there are any plans for the near future for this to be added? Thanks! - Ryan

Hey @Larrys2 

Great question. We do plan on rolling out an update very soon for some accounts that will make scheduling emails based on birth date much easier! We don't have an exact date quite yet but I can certainly have you notified once this has been implemented.

So every one of your competitors offers an easy Birthday email solution and according to your Forums your developers have been "considering" this feature since 2011, and it has been asked for by more than 100 users (at least) and it is still in "development" with no specific release date?

Please, please, please listen to your loyal customers and roll out this long overdue feature ASAP!

Thanks for posting. I definitely understand where you're coming from. This feature is currently in the process of being implemented for a future release and I can certainly have you notified when this happens if you would like.

After some searching on the boards it seems like this is a topic that comes up over and over again... we would like to send out an e-mail on people's birthdays - and have it automated to go out annually to these individuals.

The most recent thread I can find on this was from 11/2014 had the response from a moderator that "this feature is coming very soon!" Unfortunately, there are posts from 2011/2012 that say similar things. Can you please provide any insight as to when this might be added? At this point I've begun researching competitors that can offer this, but I do love Constant Contact and would like to stay - I just need to have an idea of when we can expect this feature.

Thanks,

Amanda Young
