Campaign Sequence - Field Timers

Field Timers allow you to schedule a marketing piece based on a date or date/time field in the contact record. There are two default date fields in every contact record: Anniversary Date and Birthday Date. You can also create your own custom date or date/time field.

1. Drag the Field Timer snippet onto the canvas.
   
   
   
   
2. Double-click timer to configure.
   
   
   
   
3. In the Wait Until section, select either:
   • To run on day(s), week(s), month(s) 
     
     
   • And either delay before or after the custom date. If you'd like the timer to run on the exact date in the custom field, select the 'No Delay' optoin. 
     
      
4. In the Contact Field section, select the date field.

   

   1. Next Occurrence will schedule for the year following the year saved in the contact field.

   2. Example: The contact field date is December 1st, 2019 the timer is configured with the Wait Until as No Delay and the Contact Field is Next Occurrence which will schedule on December 1st, 2020.
