Hi, I’m trying to trigger an email six months after someone makes a reservation with my company. My issue is that the close date isn’t the same date that the person books the reservation for. (Similar to booking a hotel room…I might reserve it today but my stay isn’t for 5 more weeks.) Basically my enrollment trigger needs to be **on** a custom property which I’m finding impossible…but I know it can’t be, lol! Just when I think I have it figured out I test deals within the workflow and none of them that I think should enroll, do. HELP!!! ---

Hi @JenWold! What property stores the date that the 6-month timeframe starts from? And is that field a Deal property or Contact property? Would any other Workflow be suppressing these contacts from joining this Workflow? I set workflow triggers on custom fields all the time and I’m not sure why this isn’t working for you. A little more info or a couple of screenshot of your workflow (if that’s ok) would be very helpful. Thanks! ---

Hi [@Crystal\_Hopper](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5747), Thanks for responding. I need to trigger on a custom property called ‘Rental End Date’ which is a contact property. The attached screenshot is the best workflow idea I could come up with but doesn’t enroll the deals and contacts associated with them like I need to. Maybe the property needs to be copied to a deal property? (Again, I need to trigger **on** the ‘Rental End Date’ date. Not before, not after, not between, etc.) Does that make sense?!!! Also, I’ve set a slim date range so I could test! Thanks!

Hi @JenWold, You mentioned that you’re using a custom **contact** property _Rental end date_, but the deal workflow is referencing a custom **deal** property in its enrollment criteria. HubSpot doesn’t automatically synchronize properties between objects even if they have the same name – so you would have to create that link. There are two options here. First, you could copy the value from the contact property into the deal property with a workflow like the one below: ![karstenkoehler_0-1622604857785.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/2X/1/176bb3d97d56cc19ef43779d573f692c43592391.png) Keep in mind that this will update all associated deals of a contact, not just the one you’re interested in. This might be fine especially if you always have only one deal associated with a contact. If the relationship is one-to-many, this wouldn’t work. That’s why a second option might make sense, recreating your deal-based workflow as a contact-based workflow. You’d still be able to reference the _Deal stage_ in the enrollment criteria and, more importantly, you could create a [date-property-centered workflow](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/workflows/create-center-on-a-date-or-center-on-a-date-property-contact-based-workflows). (This option is only available for contact-based workflows, not deal-based workflows.) Hope this helps! ---

Hi Karsten! I think this worked!! I don’t have multiple contacts associated with a deal so I copied the property in a separate workflow. I’m getting one more set of eyes to look at it and then I’ll turn it on. 😀 Thanks so much.
