Contact Field Value: how to configure this entry point in an Emailchef Flow

The Contact Field Value entry point is triggered when a specific field in a contact’s profile meets a defined condition.

Select the date that will trigger the automation. This can be a predefined date (such as the subscription date) or a custom field you’ve created (for example, “Birthday” or “Expiration Date”).
