I have a bot that polls my Airtable list of birthdays and if it is someone's birthday, it sends me a push notification via IFTTT at 7am that morning so I can call or text them first thing in the morning.

Wouldn't it be easier to just make a yearly repeating calendar entry with a reminder?


Lol I started doing this two years ago and now I have a reminder for all of my friends, family, uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews. It really makes a person feel good to send them a text on their bday


this is the first time I've heard of airtable. It looks sort of neat. I'm curious if it's a thing you use for personal organization or if it;s something you use for work?
