Triggering an automation based on a date is perfect for closings, birthdays, anniversaries, and more! No need to worry about forgetting those special dates, date based automations will take care of your personalized email and remind you of the special day!

When an automation triggers based on a calendar date, that action plan will start at 8 AM that day, based on the time zone settings on your company page.

Note: Custom fields need to be created by the account owner. Action plans and automations can be created by admin users.
