Birthday reminders
Tue, 10/20/2009 - 14:05 — giftventure
All, I was just told by Customer Support phone help that this is not possible. BUT I'm sure there is a creative way to do it.
We are collecting birthdate as a field from the user. We'd like to create an email that goes out 30 days and 14 days before a contact's birthday. The autoresponder will only work from date joined in the group. So, any suggestions how to code a birthday reminder service?
If this has already been posted, I apologize for not finding it. Thank you in advance for your help.
RE: Birthday Reminders
What you are looking to do is not possible at this time because it is dependent on functionality that is not currently in our API. Our REST API currently supports the creation/modification/deletion of contacts and lists, as well as the ability to access reporting data from email campaigns. While you can use our API to locate the contacts with upcoming birthdays you would not be able to create an email dynamically using the API.
The functionality that you require is something that people have requested and may be implemented in a future update to our API.
