It would be great to be able to start a flow based on a field trigger, especially for date triggers.
That would avoid creating too many segments and make building flows easier.
Example:
Start flow when Date Field is in 7 days

This trigger is live now. You can read more about it in the latest announcement
I have to say this is an absolute "must have". At the moment I can't think of anything more powerful than bein able to trigger automations on a field update (not just dates field). It's literally a 10x to what we could do with this tool for example in terms of: Chaining multiple events together, like let's say I am tracking how many webinars/guides a contact has downloaded, or if they've watched 2 specific (same theme) webinars out of all the 10 webinars that we have --> A multi selection checkbox matches both of these specific webinars as "check" --> Trigger sales outreach sequence.
Like this is just one example and there are many, I can't emphasize enough how big of a deal this feature would be.
I was suprised the other day that this was not in there yet, as this is the way I would start all my flows in ActiveCampaign.
A field changed to a certain value? Start the flow, this also works there on new subscribers, so the moment someone subscribes and a certain field has a certain value, it is considered as the field changed.
"Entered segment" only triggers one time. We need this for repeating flows.
