How It Works
This workflow is a powerful yet simple automation to delight your customers on their birthdays. It runs every day on a schedule you define and automatically pulls data from your customer list on Google Sheets. The workflow then checks to see if any customer has a birthday on the current day. If a match is found, it generates a unique discount code and sends a personalized, celebratory email with the code directly to the customer. This ensures no birthday is ever missed, fostering customer loyalty and driving sales with zero manual effort.
