Hi.

Is it possible, when an employee has birthday in the organization, then create a zap, so the name and image of the employee, will be sent from Microsoft Exchange calendar and post it on a page or post in Wordpress?

Hi @Davivo 

If you have a separate calendar setup for birthdays and you can access it via Microsoft Outlook then you can use the “Calendar Event Start” trigger to do this.

You’d get the name of employee from the event title. If you want the image, you’ll need to add the file’s URL to the calendar event description and extract it with a “Formatter->Text->Extract URL” step to then upload to Wordpress.

Thanks for your reply.

I am not that familiar with Microsoft products. If my client says they are using Microsoft exchange, will it then be this zap:

Or should I use the one you mentioned?

Sorry for inconvenience, but could you elaborate a bit on “fire an http request to your azure ad as seen here”, I am not quite sure what you mean and how.
