Yes! We recommend using the date based automation trigger for this.

The “Date-based” automation trigger lets you start an automation based on a contact’s date field. You can choose to start the automation before, on, or after the date displayed in their field!

More info on starting an automation on a date/time can be found here.

Date based goals are one of the most powerful things - this birthday example is great to learn from. Now imagine it is a webinar date, event date, meeting date, etc and you can start to imagine what else you can do.
