Automated Congratulations SMS via Google Sheets & Twilio

This n8n workflow automates sending personalized congratulations SMS messages using Google Sheets for data storage and Twilio for delivery. It starts with a daily cron trigger at 8 AM, fetches event data (e.g., birthdays, anniversaries) from a 'Congratulations Calendar' sheet, and uses an IF node to check if any events match today's date. If no events, it does nothing; otherwise, it pulls random or predefined congratulations messages from another sheet.

Data is merged by event name, then a function node personalizes the message by inserting the recipient's first name into a greeting pulled from a comma-separated list of wishes. The workflow likely concludes with a Twilio node (implied by the title and folder) to send the customized SMS to the stored phone numbers. This ensures timely, relevant communication without manual effort.

Benefits include significant time savings for businesses or teams managing employee/client anniversaries, fostering relationships through automated personalization. Use cases: HR for work anniversaries, sales for customer birthdays, or personal use for family events. It's scalable, low-maintenance, and integrates seamlessly with existing Sheets data.
