detail.loadingPreview
Never miss a chance to celebrate! This workflow automatically checks your Google Calendar for daily events and sends personalized congratulatory SMS messages. Stay connected and make special moments memorable, effortlessly.
About This Workflow
The 'Congratulations Workflow' is designed to help you stay on top of celebrations and special occasions. It starts by checking your Google Calendar daily for any events scheduled for that day. If an event is found, it then pulls pre-written congratulatory messages and recipient details from another Google Sheet. These messages are then personalized with the recipient's name and specific details about the event before being sent out as an SMS via Twilio. This workflow ensures that no important date is overlooked and allows for timely, personalized outreach, fostering stronger relationships.
Key Features
- Daily Event Detection: Automatically checks your Google Calendar for events scheduled for the current day.
- Personalized Messaging: Crafts unique messages by merging event details with pre-defined greetings and recipient information.
- Automated SMS Delivery: Leverages Twilio to send personalized congratulatory messages directly to recipients' phones.
- Flexible Data Source: Integrates seamlessly with Google Sheets to manage your events and message templates.
How To Use
- Configure the 'Daily Trigger': Set the cron schedule to run daily at your desired time (default is 8 AM).
- Connect 'Congratulations Calendar': Link your Google account and specify the Google Sheet containing your event dates and details (e.g., 'Date', 'Event Name', 'First Name', 'Phone Number'). Ensure the date format in your sheet matches the comparison logic.
- Set up 'Any Event Today?': This node compares the date from your calendar with the current day. Adjust the date format in
value2if needed to match your Google Sheet. - Prepare 'Congratulations Messages': Configure this node to connect to a Google Sheet containing your congratulatory messages. Ensure it has columns like 'Event Name' and 'Congratulations' (which should contain the base message, potentially with placeholders like commas to separate greeting and main text).
- Configure 'Merge Data': This node merges the event data from your calendar with the congratulatory messages based on a common field (e.g., 'Event Name').
- Customize 'Personalize Message': This JavaScript function takes the merged data and dynamically creates personalized messages. It splits the 'Congratulations' field to separate the greeting and the main message, then inserts the recipient's name and constructs the final 'Wishes' and extracts the 'Phone Number'.
- Set up 'Send SMS': Configure your Twilio credentials and ensure the 'to' and 'message' fields are correctly populated with data from the 'Personalize Message' node.
