InnovativeK Vereins-Geburtstage
Vereins-Geburtstage manages your members’ birthdays and sends personal birthday greetings by email, automatically or at the push of a button. It is designed for clubs and associations (“Vereine”) and is fully bilingual (English and German).
Members are imported from a CSV file or added manually. On re-import, an existing entry with the same email address is updated, so no duplicates are created. Every morning at 9:00 a.m. the plugin checks whether anyone has a birthday and, only then, sends a summary email to the configured address with the names and a link to the admin area. There you can see today’s birthdays, a preview of the upcoming birthdays in the next seven days, and send the greetings with one click. Optionally, the plugin sends them fully automatically.
For the texts you can define any number of templates with the placeholders {vorname} (first name), {nachname} (last name) and {absender} (sender). One template is chosen at random per person so the greetings stay varied. Both the overview and the people list show for whom a greeting has already been sent in the current year. The people list can be sorted by first name, last name, birthday or email by clicking the column headers.
The plugin is privacy-friendly: only the imported data is stored in your own database, and no external services are used.

Vereins-Geburtstage verwaltet die Geburtstage Deiner Mitglieder und versendet automatisch oder per Knopfdruck persönliche Geburtstagsgrüße per E-Mail. Mitglieder werden per CSV importiert oder manuell erfasst; bei gleicher E-Mail wird ein vorhandener Eintrag überschrieben. Täglich um 9:00 Uhr gibt es – nur bei anstehenden Geburtstagen – eine Zusammenfassungsmail. Vorlagen mit den Platzhaltern {vorname}, {nachname} und {absender} werden pro Person zufällig gewählt. Die Personenliste ist sortierbar, bereits versendete Grüße werden gekennzeichnet. Das Plugin nutzt keine externen Dienste.
