There are no triggers for important lifecycle events such as:

When a contact is associated with an object

When an association is created or removed

Filtering or triggering workflows based on association labels

Workflow actions for custom objects are also limited. There is currently no ability to:

Automatically change a contact’s association label based on conditions

Manage or update associations dynamically within workflows

Apply logic across multiple associated records

Impact:

This significantly limits automation for systems that rely on relationships between contacts and associated records, requiring manual intervention for association management and reducing the usefulness of custom objects in real-world workflows.

Needed. Date field trigger + communication actions are my top picks

There are two key improvements needed to unlock full workflow automation for Custom Objects:

Custom Object triggers (Record Created / Updated) should support the entire action set, specifically:

Send Document & Contract

Webhooks

Branching logic

Communication actions

Right now these triggers are restricted, preventing CO-based automation flows from functioning end-to-end.

Document Templates should support Custom Object Records as the primary context, allowing:

Dynamic population of Custom Fields

Selecting the associated Contact automatically

Sending the generated document directly within a workflow

Even though templates allow inserting CO fields, values remain empty because the workflow cannot assign a CO record as the active context.

Impact:

Enabling these two upgrades would allow proposals, contracts, project documents, and reports to be automatically generated from Custom Object data — a major step for advanced CRM implementations.

Please add internal notification actions. As well as task creation action to custom object workflow.

If/ Else for all objects sent to the workflow via webhook

I seet his is in progress. Would be great if we can have a date trigger as well
