If you're a part of a large workspace, you may decide to celebrate birthdays in a close community of your teammates. For this reason, you can set up a celebration channel assigned to your private channel.
Once you added the bot to your Slack, it will reach out to you on the Messages tab offering to set up a celebration channel, however, you'll need to skip this step for a while.
Instead, let's go to the private channel and invite the bot to it manually with the following text command add @BirthdayBot. If you added the bot successfully, you'd see it in the channel details.
Go back to the BirthdayBot Home tab and click on New channel.
A new window will pop up showing an intro message - please, go through it thoroughly.
Having clicked the Continue button, select your private channel.
Click on Next and decide whether you want BirthdayBot to send a welcome message to the dedicated channel and to collect your teammates' birth dates.
Hit the Save button to finish the process of setting up the team.
Please note that a private celebration channel is visible only to its members and an admin, and the other Slack users can't join it without an invitation.
