# Client Celebrations

Birthdays and anniversaries are some of the most personal and important touches to have with your sphere, especially with your past and current clients. **It's an easy win.**&#x20;

With **Triggers**, you can automate celebration emails for your contacts’ birthdays, wedding anniversaries, and home anniversaries—ensuring you never miss a chance to stay top of mind.

Rechat will automatically display birthday and anniversary reminders on the Daily and your Calendar.  Each birthday reminder includes an email template that you can use to wish the person a happy birthday if you choose not to enable the **Triggers** automation.

## Setting Up Triggers

**Step 1:** Go to **My Settings**.

Emails are sent automatically, but you can toggle them on or off at any time. If you don’t want a contact to receive a celebratory email, simply opt them out directly from their contact record. This easy setup lets you focus on other tasks while ensuring your clients feel valued on their special days.
