  • You can first fetch the details using Excel Input Step
  • Set a variable with current date in Modified Java script Step and compare it with Date from previous step.
  • If the date/Month is equal to current date(not year) the you can fetch the email address, name and Send email using Send email step to Specific user.

Hi Gaurav,
Thanks for your input. However, I have tried with the same logic before in Modified Java Script Step, but it did not work. The required Email is not getting retrieved. Please note the excel that I used contains one DOB as today’s date (Oct 12).

Thank you for your input.
However, with your given solution it didn’t work either. Later on I found out the actual issue in the code itself. I altered the code logic and it worked finally.

Sorry for the late reply.
Here is the code that I used:

var dobDateMonth = date2str(DOB, “dd-MM”);
var today = new Date();
var todayDateMonth = date2str(today, “dd-MM”);
var mail;

if (dobDateMonth == todayDateMonth)
{
mail = true;
}
else
{
mail = false;
}
