Birthday Emails
It would be nice if we could have a function where a system email went out to someone on their birthday. We could get that information from the member profile.

We just launched integration with Integromat platform, which helps to build automated workflows. We also provide several templates for quick start, and one of them allows to send birthday emails.
You can try the integration by this link https://www.integromat.com/en/integration/2274-happy-birthday-to-wild-apricot-members

Is it possible to allow an automated email to be sent to members on their birthday? It would be a simple email, with a macro to change the name, but that would be sent on each member's birthday to wish them a happy birthday.
Thank you

We send out birthday wishes emails to our members. In the contact DB we have fields containing date of birth (month, day and year)
Ideally we have a function in the email editor of calculating a value based on any of the contact fields
eg
Dear {Contact_First_Name} {Contact_Last_Name}, all the best as you turn {Current_Year - Contact_DOB_Year} on {Contact_DOB_Month_Full} {Contact_DOB_Day}
Ideally Contact_DOB is the date of birth and the DOB_Year and DOB_Month_Full and DOB_Day are extracted from that so that the above line resolves as
Dear John Smith, all the best as you turn 45 on August 24

We decided that this strays too far from our current product plans, sorry.

I would love to hear from other users who would find this useful.
