EVENT `filmo.contact.created`

## Configuration

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `event` | string | Yes | The event this trigger waits for: `filmo.contact.created`. |
| `filter` | condition | No | The trigger's gate: «only when…». A condition evaluated against the event and the record before the run is created; if it is not met, no run is created. If absent, there is no filter and the event passes. If present, it must be complete, with the variable chosen: saving a half-configured filter is rejected. |
