Yeah I know, this might be taking things too far. But I got tired of typing the same variations over and over, so I decided to generate it from a few custom snippets.

You can use this optional shortcut together with Pushcut to get a notification when it’s someone’s birthday. You can set it up to generate the message when tapping on the Pushcut notification.

It currently works with WhatsApp or messages. It generates a message with three parts:

• “Happy birthday” (randomly selects a variation of it, you can customize these)
• “Tanja” (chooses the first name or nickname if you have one set for the contact)
• “🎂🤗” (also customizable ending, chooses randomly)

So the message here would be: “Happy birthday Tanja 🎂🤗”. It will then open the chat app you picked and pre-fill the message. It’s not sending the message automatically.
