Workflow name
Send personalized occasion wishes with AI, Google Sheets and Gmail

Overview: Automated Occasion Wisher

How it works

  • Runs daily to check if today matches any birthday, anniversary, or special occasion in your Google Sheet
  • AI Agent reads the sheet and returns a list of users having a special occasion to wish with details and a personalized wishing message
  • If there is no one to wish, no email is sent. If there are multiple people to wish, multiple personalized emails are sent

Setup steps

  • Connect your Google Sheet containing columns as: Name, Occasion_Date, Email, Occasion_Type, Relationship, Personal_Note
  • Insert the AI prompt ensuring strict JSON output (list format only)
  • Configure the Email node for sending the final message

Customization

  • Edit AI prompt to change message tone, length, or emojis
  • Add support for multiple reminder styles (e.g., early notification)
  • Extend with logging, Slack alerts, or saving sent email history
