To enable birthday emails that send automatically to your patients:

and select Global Setup. -
When prompted, enter your YAPI password and click OK.

In the Global Setup window that pops up, navigate to the Automation tab and locate the green Email Birthday Card section:
-
Select the Email checkbox. In the days before event box next to it, enter the number of days before the patient's birthday that you want them to receive their birthday email. We recommend setting this to "1."
Important! DO NOT leave this number at 0. This can prevent your birthday emails from sending.
