How to Add a User’s Birthday in Google Workspace

Sign in to the Admin console
Go to admin.google.com and log in with your super‑admin account.

Navigate to Directory settings

From the home page, click Directory > Users.

Find and click the name of the user whose birthday you want to add.

Edit their profile

In the user’s account page, click User information > Profile.

Scroll to Birthday. If you don’t see that field, click Add custom attribute and create one called “Birthday” (type: Date).

Enter the date

Click the Birthday field, choose the correct month, day, and year, and then click Save.

(Optional) Enable Birthdays Calendar

For everyone to see upcoming birthdays, ask each user to open Google Calendar, click Other calendars > Browse calendars of interest, and turn on Birthdays.

Now, all added birthdays will automatically show up under that calendar.

Send birthday greetings with “wisheshappybirthday”

If you want to send an automated chat or email greeting on their big day, set up a Calendar notification or use Google Apps Script.

In your script, you could search calendar events tagged “Birthday” and send a “wisheshappybirthday” message at 9 AM.

Tips for Forum Safety

Avoid posting direct links to your internal Admin console—just describe the steps.

Use clear headings and bullet points to stay within community guidelines.

If the forum auto‑flags words like “birthday script,” keep it high‑level and point to the official Apps Script docs instead of pasting code.

This walkthrough should help you add and display birthdays across your Workspace while keeping your post clean and forum‑friendly. Good luck, and don’t forget to “wisheshappybirthday” to your teammates!
