Birthday Gift Bot

For a distributed team spread across multiple time zones, manually coordinating birthday gifts was falling through the cracks — delays, forgotten birthdays, no process. This bot made it invisible infrastructure.

Problem

Manual gift coordination caused delays and had no visibility — HR had no way to track what was sent, to whom, or when.

Solution

A Telegram bot deployed on Vercel that automates the full gift flow, from employee notification to HR reporting.

Bot flow: employee receives gift selection 10 days before birthday

How it works

1

Employee Notification

Bot messages the employee 10 days before their birthday with a curated gift selection to choose from.

2

Gift Selection

Employee picks from 3 delivery channel options — each with ready-to-use gift variants.

3

HR Status Dashboard

HR gets a live dashboard showing each employee's status: notified, selected, delivered.

Step 1: account linking; Step 2: automatic birthday notification
