# Birthday Campaigns
> How to set up a campaign that automatically sends a birthday reward to members.
A Birthday Rewards campaign sends a notification to members on or before their birthday, optionally with a reward attached. Qtap triggers it automatically once per year for each member who has a birthday in their profile.
## Requirements
For a member to receive a birthday campaign, they must have a birthday date saved in their Qtap account. Members set this themselves in the app. You can also add or edit a member's birthday from their profile in the dashboard — go to **Members**, open the member's profile, and click **Edit Info**.
Members without a birthday on file will not receive the campaign.
## Creating a Birthday Campaign
Click **Campaigns** in the left sidebar, then click **New Campaign**. The wizard walks you through these steps:
1. On the Type step, select **Birthday Rewards**. Give the campaign a name (e.g., "Birthday Bonus") and an optional description. Click **Next**.
2. On the Trigger step, choose when to send the notification: on the day, 1 day before, 3 days before (default), or 7 days before. If you're attaching a reward, sending 3 days early gives members time to plan a visit. Click **Next**.
3. On the Reward step, optionally attach a reward. Members receive it in their wallet when the notification sends. Available types include bonus stamps, a points top-up, or a custom voucher. Click **Next** whether you add a reward or not.
4. On the Message step, fill in the **Notification Title** (e.g., "Happy Birthday!") and the **Notification Body** (e.g., "You've got a free coffee waiting for you this week."). Keep the body short — push notifications truncate long text on most phones. Click **Next**.
5. On the Conditions step, optionally narrow who receives the campaign — for example, only members who have visited in the last 90 days. Leave this blank to target all members with a birthday on file. Click **Next**.
6. On the A/B Test step, optionally set up two message variants to test which performs better. Click **Next**.
7. On the Review step, check the summary and click **Activate** to start the campaign, or **Save as Draft** to publish it later.
Once a birthday campaign is active, it runs every year automatically. You do not need to re-create it each year.
## Managing the Campaign
After activating, the campaign appears on the Campaigns page with a status of **Active**. Click the three-dot menu on the campaign card to:
* **Pause** — stops future sends without deleting the campaign
* **Edit** — change the trigger timing, reward, or message
* **Delete** — removes the campaign permanently
Pausing a campaign mid-year does not cancel birthday notifications that have already been queued for that day. Members whose birthday falls on the day you pause may still receive the message.
