Adding Birthdays

When you're in the app, go to the Calendar tab to see a list of upcoming events. If there are any upcoming birthdays, click on one to see additional details. From there you'll see Broadcast icon, where you can send that person a custom alert for just them.

Holidays

When a day is selected as a company holiday, it will automatically show up in the Events section of the app for your employees to see.
