How to connect Google Contacts and Slack

Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Google Contacts and Slack integration: Create a new workflow and add the first step

Daily birthday reminders from Google Contacts to Slack

Ensure you never miss a birthday with this automated workflow designed by WeblineIndia. It retrieves your Google Contacts, identifies birthdays happening today, and sends personalized reminders directly to a designated Slack channel. This daily automation keeps your team informed and makes birthday celebrations effortless. Steps Set Daily Schedule (Cron Node) Configure a Cron node to trigger the workflow daily at a specific time (e.g., 8 AM). This ensures the workflow runs consistently every day to check for birthdays. Retrieve Contacts (Google Contacts - Get Contact Node) Use the Google Contacts (Get Contact) node to fetch your contact list. Ensure your contacts have birthday details stored for accurate filtering. Filter Birthdays (IF Node) Add an IF Node to compare the current date with each contact’s birthday. Only contacts whose birthdays match today’s date will move to the next step. Send Birthday Notifications to Slack (Slack - Send Message Node) Use the Slack node to send a personalized birthday message to your chosen Slack channel (e.g., #general or #birthdays). Customize the message to include the contact’s name, e.g., "🎉 Today is John Doe's birthday! Let’s celebrate!" Configure the node to target a specific Slack channel for seamless notifications. Activate Workflow Save and activate the workflow. From now on, the workflow will automatically check for birthdays daily and send timely reminders to your Slack team. Outcome This hassle-free automation keeps your team engaged and ensures no birthday goes unnoticed. Celebrate special days of your contacts effortlessly and maintain meaningful connections.
