Stop Billy from celebrating your birthday or work anniversary and sharing the date with your coworkers, in Slack or Microsoft Teams. You can opt back in.

To opt out of Billy's celebrations, check the Opt out box under your birthday or work anniversary in Billy's Home tab (Slack) or turn on the opt-out toggle in the SetDates card (Teams). You can opt back in at any time.

When you opt out of an event, Billy doesn't celebrate it, hides it from upcoming events and reminders, and shows OPT OUT in the admins' import file. Admins can see who opted out.

In Slack#

Open Billy's Home tab. In the Hey buddy 👋 section, check "Opt out - your birthdate won't be shared with your co-workers, and no celebrations will be conducted for your birthday." Do the same under Your work anniversary 💼 if needed.
