Summary

This tutorial guides users on how to send SMS birthday messages using Google Sheets and Vonage's AI Studio with minimal coding required, leveraging low-code features. To start, a Vonage API account is needed, along with a Google Account for accessing Google Sheets. The user creates an agent in AI Studio, configures custom parameters, connects the virtual agent to a virtual number, and sets up a database of contacts' birthdays and messages in Google Sheets. An Apps Script function is created to iterate through each row in the sheet, checking if today is a birthday, and sends an SMS using the AI Studio API. The application can be automated to run daily using a cron job. With this setup, users can never miss another birthday again.
