Send Scheduled Congratulations from Sheets

Send personalized SMS greetings for events listed in Google Sheets.

Setup

Connect Google Sheets and Twilio. Set the spreadsheet ID in both read nodes, select the appropriate sheet ranges and set the Twilio sender in Send greeting SMS. The calendar header needs unique Date, Event Name, First Name, and Phone Number columns; the messages header needs unique Event Name and Congratulations columns. Use phone numbers in E.164 format and dates formatted as day/month without leading zeroes, for example 5/3. The message text before its first comma becomes the greeting; the first name is inserted before that comma.

In n8n, connect Google Sheets and Twilio, configure the spreadsheet ID and both ranges and the Twilio sender. Activate only one format.

Behavior

Each day at 08:00 UTC, match today’s calendar rows against greeting templates by event name and send each matched person a personalized SMS. Unmatched rows produce no message. When greeting names repeat, the last matching template is used. Open Flow sends sequentially and stops on failure; a failed or uncertain send may already have been delivered, so check before retrying. A rerun may send duplicates. Open Flow runs at the minute boundary; n8n’s cron can run at a fixed second within that minute.

Changes to the source

Connect the greeting table read to the schedule; the source leaves it disconnected. Skip unmatched rows instead of failing when a greeting is missing. Use UTC and configurable spreadsheet and sender settings.
