In our previous article, we talked about “How to send Birthday Greeting SMS automatically Every Year” where we discussed on a feature that enables you to add up birthdays and schedule it for when you want it to deliver. We also went ahead to discuss the importance, convenience and reliability of it.
In this article, we would be elaborating more on this feature “Add Birthdays” where we’ll talk about its upgrade (which was installed with an extra feature to it) all for the greater good of being able to easily schedule and send birthday SMS messages. There are two methods to which you can store up and schedule birthday messages as described below;
- The first is through the “Add birthdays” method in which you get to type and store your birthday contents manually as shown in the image below:

- You also have the options of “Add More”, “Remove”.
- What's more, you can select message samples from our “Birthday SMS Templates”.
- Click on “Save Birthdays” when you are done.
- The other is the “Upload Birthdays” method: This way, you can schedule your birthday contents by uploading an already saved up contact from your TEXT or CSV file.
Note: Ensure that the birth dates are all in a consistent format e.g. 17th April 1990, 17-04-1990, etc. Always day month year. DO NOT INCLUDE ANY HEADERS ON THE FIRST LINE
- First step: Click on “Browse” to select the file in which the contacts are stored.
- Fill out the boxes with the sender name preferred time for the SMS to be sent, and the birthday message which can also be customized by adding the [FirstName] or [LastName].

- Click on “Upload” once the setup is done.
As mentioned above is all there is to wish those special people in your life "A happy birthday", showing how much you care.
