Growing your Facebook account does end with adding friends, groups and inviting to your pages.  You need to actively engage with them as well.  And one of the sweetest and thoughtful touch base you should always remember is to send them a greeting on their natal day.

While you can manually send each of your friend a Birthday wish, it would be time-consuming if you will keep track of it on a daily basis.  That said, you can leave this special task to Jarvee through its Facebook Birthday Tool.

How to automate your birthday greeting?

To access this handy tool, simply go to Tools > click on your Facebook account > and then choose Birthday from your list of tools. The Facebook Birthday tool has two tabs: Settings and Results.

Settings tab

You will see three sections on the Settings tab:

• Run timers
• Birthday textbox
• List of your current Facebook friends.

Run Timers section:

You can set when you want the tool to execute.  Just set the X-Y hours as well as the days when the tool will send out your birthday wishes.   While there is an option to rotate the days, it might not be applicable to use it since you are sending out birthday greetings.

Birthday Text Section:

This is where you can add the message you want to send to your friends.  You can do a spintax, add an emojis and use the supported tokens: [FULLNAME], [FIRSTNAME] and [LASTNAME]

How to create unique messages?

 Manually with the use of the spintax symbols ‘ { , } and | ‘

• { is used to open the spintax
• } is for closing the spinax
• | used to separate the variations

Example: {Happy Birthday! | Cheers on your Birthday 🙂 | Many Happy Returns of the Day 😀 | ..and so on}

 

 

 Aside from text variations, you can throw in some Emojis to make it more interesting.

 Use one of the tokens that will allow you to add that friend’s full name, first name or last name automatically to the greeting message

 When you are done with your spintax, you can click the ‘Check spintax button’ and it will generate a random result from your spintax to make sure that your message makes sense.

Selecting Your Friends section:

From this area of the Settings tab, you will see your friends list. Simply select the friends that will receive the birthday greetings by ticking the checkbox or you can opt SELECT ALL so nobody gets left out.

✅ As you can see, there are several action links available for your convenience:

1. The filter box enables you to easily find your friend from the list, instead of scrolling through all the names
2. You can use the ‘Select’ options rather than executing the action one by one.

• Select All – will check all the names
• Select None – it will uncheck all the names
• Select non-English names – this will select only non-English names
• Select All That Are Friends Of Other Accounts With the Same Tag – this will allow you to select friends of other Facebook accounts you’ve added to Jarvee that shares the same account tag

3. The Friends list of the account gets updated during account synchronization, but if you want to update it immediately, you can click on the Force Friends Update button.
4. Import – you can import a list of FB friends by using a CSV file
5. Export – click this if you want to generate a copy of your Friends list; the file includes the name and profile URL

💡 More options:

Copy Settings (Located at the top portion near the name of the account) – you can use this option if you want to duplicate the settings you’ve configured for the Birthday tool to your other Facebook accounts.

Results tab

All the executed actions will be recorded in the Results tab including the date the action was executed, the message that was sent out and the name of the friend that received the message.

 In addition, you will see other action links such as:

• Delete All – if you want to clear the recorded results from the Results tab
