Facebook Birthday Wisher Documentation

Setup Instructions

1. Add Cookies

To begin, you need to add your Facebook cookies to the TaskBot Settings in ZeroWork. You can use a Chrome extension like EditThisCookie to extract the necessary cookies.

2. Integrate OpenAI API

If you wish to use ChatGPT to generate personalized birthday wishes or if your Facebook account does not have quick birthday wish buttons, you must add your OpenAI API key to your account integrations. This will allow the TaskBot to use ChatGPT for generating birthday messages.

3. Configure the "Do Not Wish Birthday List"

To exclude specific accounts from receiving birthday wishes, navigate to the "Do Not Wish Birthday List" datatable within the TaskBot. Here, you can add the exact profile links of the accounts you do not wish to send birthday messages to. This is useful for accounts belonging to individuals you are no longer close with or accounts of deceased individuals. If there are no accounts to exclude, leave this datatable blank. You can either add them 1 by 1 or just get a csv list and import them.

4. Set Required Variables

Fill out the two mandatory variables marked with an asterisk (*) in the TaskBot's variables section:

  • "*(Yes/No)Chat GPT Random Birthday Wish": This variable controls whether the TaskBot uses ChatGPT to generate birthday wishes. Type "Yes" to enable or "No" to disable. Note that if your Facebook account lacks the quick birthday wish buttons, you must enable this feature.
  • "*(Yes/No)Are there People you have added to your Do not Wish Birthday Datatable?": If you have added profiles to the "Do Not Wish Birthday List," set this variable to "Yes." Otherwise, set it to "No."

Troubleshooting

Issue: TaskBot Not Functioning Properly

  • Ensure that your Facebook cookies are correctly added to the TaskBot Settings. Incorrect or expired cookies may prevent the TaskBot from accessing your account.
  • If you are using the ChatGPT feature, verify that your OpenAI API key is correctly integrated. This is required if your Facebook account does not have the quick birthday wish buttons or if you want to use the ChatGPT-generated messages.
