Remind Employee Birthday
Automatic 7-day birthday reminder to the employee's manager — posted directly in the employee's chatter. Never miss another birthday.
by Majorbird — Odoo Silver Partner
Engine: mjb_reminder_ruleThe Problem
Birthdays go unnoticed — managers miss the opportunity to recognise employees, damaging morale. Odoo's native HR module stores each employee's birthday date, but provides no built-in reminder mechanism to alert managers before the day arrives. That recognition moment is lost every year.
How It Works
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | hr.employee |
| Trigger | Daily cron, 7 days before birthday |
| Condition | employee.birthday == today + 7 days |
| Action | Posts chatter message on hr.employee notifying manager |
| Frequency | Once per employee per birthday cycle |
Key Features
Automated 7-Day Advance Notice
The cron triggers exactly 7 days before each employee's birthday — giving managers enough time to prepare a thoughtful recognition.
Manager Visible in Chatter
The reminder is posted on the employee record's chatter thread, where the responsible manager is tagged and notified instantly.
No Custom Fields Needed
Uses Odoo's native stored birthday Date field on hr.employee — no additional configuration or custom field setup required.
Community Edition Compatible
Works fully on Odoo Community 19.0. No Enterprise licence required.
Configuration
- 1 Install mjb_remind_employee_birthday from the Apps menu.
- 2 mjb_reminder_rule installs automatically as a dependency — no manual setup needed.
- 3 Ensure each employee's birthday is set under HR → Employees → Private Info.
- 4 The daily cron runs automatically — the manager is notified within 24 hours of the 7-day window opening.
Scope & Limitations
- Targets hr.employee records only
- Reminder fires once per year per employee
- Posts chatter message only — no email is sent
- Does NOT auto-schedule birthday calendar events
- Requires mjb_reminder_rule engine module
This is the initial release. The module covers the core reminder use case. Your feedback is welcome — if you need multi-day windows, email delivery, or batch reporting, let us know through the Odoo support channel.
