Customer Birthday E-mails and Coupon

[mstella1]

We would like to send our customers a coupon on their birthday. Does anyone know of a module that could do that? I was thinking of using Bill's Event Reminder and our customer service reps could setup the event as we obtain the customers birthday. Just not sure if I can embed a coupon code in there that would be generated through the Coupon Redemption module we are already using for other automated e-mails.

Thanks,
Mike

I'm not sure of any modules that exist for this. However, you could build something custom with a some page template logic, generate coupons module and a cron job. It would look something like this at a high level:

1. Add a Custom Custom Field during the account to collect the customers birthdate
2. Create a custom page that loops thorough customers, finds any customers with today as their birthdate
3. For those customers use the generate coupon module (http://apps.miva.com/generate-coupons.html) to send them a unique coupon
4. Setup a Cron job on the server to automatically run the new page you created nightly.
