Contact birthday trigger not working
Hello,
I tried to setup a birthday automation. However, the automation is not triggered. Contacts have birthday filled (e.g. today) and contact state is subscribed. However the automation is still not triggered in case.
Any idea what’s going wrong?
Thanks for support
