Frequently asked questions

What is the birthday cake emoji code in Slack?

:birthday: gives 🎂 (birthday cake) and :cake: gives 🍰 (shortcake). :cupcake: is 🧁.

How do I make Slack remind me of coworkers' birthdays?

Slack has no built-in birthday tracker. Teams use a Workflow Builder scheduled message, or a birthday app from the Slack Marketplace that posts in a channel on the day.
