EVENT `filmo.contact.updated`

## Configuration

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `event` | string | Yes | The event this trigger waits for: `filmo.contact.updated`. |
| `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. |
| `changedField` | string | No | Only for update events («Only when … changes»): one of the fields the event declares as changeable. It passes only when that field changed. If absent, any update passes. For those events the editor offers this instead of the filter. |
