Does anyone use an automated reminder service ? I need a service which sends me reminder about events (birthdays, anniversaries, special days, etc). One where I am sent an email daily to remind me whom I need to wish today. My Googling skills hasn't revealed anything useful. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

You don't need my permission man ! In fact, if you start work on it, I'll be willing to pitch in some engineering effort 🙂

just curious if anyone would pay for such a service.

I know people will. Not a lot, but a small sum of money sounds like a good deal.

You can have a birthdays calendar on Google calendar which sends you email reminders (if you set it). But then not have it displayed on your calendar. I think that is a fairly standard setting. My Google Calendar has synced to my FB calendar somehow and is filled with random people's birthdays -- but I always have that birthdays calendar hidden.

Most of the functionality is already here, just need to add automated email notifications using Zapier: https://www.glideapps.com/templates/birthday-wall-5a

I had built one for one of the corporate HR, the solution was simple 1. Google sheet containing the list of employees with their birthdays and anniversaries 2. Google script to read it daily and send an email ( html email containing the link to

)
