10.4: Schedule Automator workflows via iCal
Authored by: SeattleSeth on May 13, '05 01:28:49PM

One great thing to do with this is to create a birthday reminder that runs every morning (or whenever else you want) and sends an email to whose ever birthday is today, tomorrow, or this week. The three commands are, which are also spelled out in the send birthday greeting action:

1.Find people with Birthdays (Address Book)
2.Send birthday greetings (Mail)
3.Send outgoing messages (Mail)

Then just set the iCal settings as above to run the app, and it sends a message to everyone who has a birthday according to the settings. It is all self explanatory.

Yea, getting your mac to send out greetings automatically really enforces the sentiment.
