GAT Flow allows an Event workflow to be triggered when a custom attribute date is reached.
This automated workflow now enables the domain admins to set up a workflow triggered when a selected date in a custom attribute is reached.
The Admins can use any Custom attribute with a “date format” as a trigger for an Event workflow.
This can be easily set up in Flow > Event workflow
