Annu,

Having done a bit more research into this issue, I see why this works for me but not for you. Sorry for the unhelpful post.

The workaround provided later in this thread should get your workflow working for now.

Hi Todd,

Many thanks for your thought. I did check the results button it doesn't seem to pull any contacts from address book.

Cheers!

Hi,

I have been trying to create a workflow using automator for sending out birthday emails automatically. Apparently, have been trying really hard to get this working, unfortunately I haven't had any luck yet. I have Mac OS X 10.6.2 running on my Mac.

Below mentioned is the work flow and the error

Step 1: Address Book Action : Find People with Birthdays
Step 2 : Mail Action : Send Birthday Greetings
== Workflow ==
Asks "Find people whose birthday is and a pop up menu" with continue button
Enter the message and choose the random image with continue button
Throws error ""The action "Send Birthday Greetings" was not supplied with the required data""


I was wondering if I could get any thoughts...

That is the error I see when there are no people with birthdays found (e.g. I have the Find People with Birthdays action configured for Today, but no one in my Address Book has a birthday today), so the first action doesn't return any results. If it does find people with birthdays, this workflow works fine for me. You can also click the Results button at the bottom of the Find People with Birthdays action to see exactly which Address Book records it is finding and passing to the Send Birthday Greetings action.
