Perhaps this has been addressed and if so, please lead me to the linked thread. Is there an Automatic Birthday Wish e-mail that can be generated? Thank you in advance! "Class Creator, the Cutting Edge!"

Carrot, There are several threads where people have requested and discussed an automated birthday wish function. Some responses were all for it, some thought a 'canned' message was too impersonal. Use the Search box at the top to search for "Birthday Wish".

TY JR! Thanks for the info. Otherwise it is far and few between coresponding with anyone except during the onset of a 5 or 10 year reunion. IMHO a canned message that you can personalize like a 'Welcome to the Site' or 'It's been 6 months, please update your info' is nice, but We have over 650 in our class and only one carrot taker...me The responses you get from your closer alums, friends etc. or others truly indicate that at our age...they are very appreciative to not only have a 'B' day wish sent their way but to be remembered at all... A 'B' day message constitutes a warm, heart felt message or rememberance, which is just one small tool to keep them involved in the Classcreator site. Anyway, thanks for the lead and I'll look at those threads that come up. And for the CC team...food for thought, again. "ClassCreator...the Cutting Edge!"

As I recall, the response last time was pretty much split evenly between those who loved the idea and those who felt a 'canned' message was too impersonal. I was one who loved the idea, and felt confident that we could create a changing and personal greeting to remind people that we're here and we do care that it's their birthday. CC listens when people get behind an idea. Let's get behind this one.

Seems natural to make this a personal choice. Don't like it, don't use. I think before that I mentioned getting canned messages from my Dentist and for my pets too Having a system to make this easier (just like the other optional reminders) is a natural here. All the pieces are there to easily accomplish this. Maybe this creates a problem with 'delivery' aspects. If that's the case, a tickler system Use your own email system perhaps.

I thought about the drawbacks about 2 milliseconds after I'd clicked the 'Save' button. In the new mail environment, the system can't automatically send email to non-joined (even though they had an email address and birthday entered), or those who were in 'bounce' or 'pending opt-in' status. But with a very small amount of additional programming, those emails could be constructed normally and sent to the admin for forwarding. And that just might be the trigger needed to get those folks to join or get them back to the site.

Yes, CC team! Keep the customer coming back, you might say. The more they come back and frequent the site, the more likelihood of them referring the CC site to others...
