Contact Properties

  • Use this when you want to check a contact’s property, regardless of whether it was just updated.

  • Example: To check if "John" is the assignee and you don’t care when the assignment was made, use "Contact Properties."

Contact Updated Properties

  • Use this to check if a specific property of the contact has just been updated, causing the trigger.

  • Example: If the assignee was just updated to "John" and you want to verify that change specifically, use "Contact Updated Properties."

  • Key Use Case for Contact Updated Properties

    • "Contact Updated Properties" is particularly useful when multiple conditions need to be met in the same instance.

    • Example: If a "Responded" tag is added and "John" is assigned as the assignee simultaneously (e.g., in a Modify Contact node), you can use Contact Updated Properties to ensure the trigger is based on these updates.
