Every day at 09:00 → Today's birthdays → If How many > 0 → Send: Happy birthday {node.t.mentions}! → Give role Birthday.
What it does
Every member whose birthday is today (in UTC), for a daily post. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 3 values later steps can use. Find it under Community in the palette.
When to use it
Put it on a daily schedule with Send message and a temporary Birthday role. Members save theirs with a /birthday command using Save a birthday.
When not to
Birthdays are by the UTC date. A 29 February birthday is wished on 28 February in other years.
