Cloud IT formerly On-Site Technical Solutions: Add Contact Birthdays to Google Calendar

Figuring out everything Google Apps can do can be a daunting task - especially with new functionality being delivered weekly.

If you've added contact birthdays in Gmail or Google Apps, there's an easy way to get those dates on your calendar.

I found the answer through gravi_t on the Google Gmail help pages, which wasn't that easy to find. Here's their answer - How to display your contacts' birthdays in Google Calendar:)
I have updated the steps for the current Google Apps for business views.

1) Go to Google Calendar

2) Click on the "My Calendars" arrow in the middle left of the screen below the current month:

3) Click on "Settings" in the dialog box that appears above.

4) In Calendar Settings, in the middle right of the screen click on "Browse Interesting Calendars>>."

5) Now click "More" in the upper left corner of the Interesting Calendars screen that displays.

6) Click "Subscribe" next to the "Contacts' birthdays and events."

7) The contacts' birthdays will now appear on your calendar next to a slice of birthday cake sans candle.
