=== Method 3: "Date-Based" Automation Trigger ===

The "Date-Based" trigger automatically adds contacts from a specified list into your automation as they meet predetermined date requirements.

1. From the Automation Trigger modal, click '''Date Based''', then select '''Continue'''.
2. The Action Options modal will expand:
   * **Starts**: Use the dropdowns to select when the automation runs for each contact and the date field that the automation will reference.
   * **List**: Choose your specified list from the dropdown.
   * **Check**: Set how frequently the trigger checks for contacts meeting your conditions (daily, weekends, or weekdays), and define the time of day for the check.
   * **Runs**: Choose between running the automation yearly (when the month and day match conditions) or only once (when year, month, and day match conditions).
3. Click the '''Add Start''' button once configurations are complete.
