n8n workflow for name-day automation

Build an n8n workflow with Schedule Trigger, HTTP Request and Split Out to match Synaxar name days against your own contact records.

Connect the n8n nodes

  1. Use Schedule Trigger with a daily interval. Set the workflow time zone to Europe/Athens if the run should follow Greek local time.
  2. Add HTTP Request with method GET and the daily feed URL. Use JSON as the response format.
  3. Add Split Out for the celebrants field. Keep the iso field from the original item so each match retains its date.
  4. Use a CRM node or HTTP Request to find contacts by the returned key. Apply your contact and channel filters before calling the greeting workflow.
GET https://synaxar.com/api/portal/el/today

Verify the result and publish the workflow

Run a manual execution with the 3 May 2027 feed and confirm that one item contains el:giorgos and 2027-05-03. Switch back to the daily URL, save and publish the workflow. Store the contact ID and feed date after each accepted handoff to manage retries.
