Sending automatic birthday emails using php

I wanted to know if a plugin exists that looks at birthays (dd.mm.) and can send an automatic email to that specific person?

If not, how would I start with programming that using php?

Thanks for the help!

No, not that I know of.

You would have to set up a daily cron job that calls a script that checks if it’s someone’s birthday and then sends an email. So one part would be the plugin/script that does the checking and sending the email, and the other part (the cron job) is server side.

Maybe this plugin can help: GitHub - bvdputte/kirby-queue: A simple queue utility plugin for Kirby 3

Thanks for your help! I’ve decided to use powershell instead, but this might be useful in the future!
