Scott, Glad you're getting close! If I understand you correctly, you need to also filter your list by contacts that have been invoiced in the last two years.

They must be triggered in Method by clicking a button, gaining/losing focus, loading a screen, etc. You could however have a button that you press daily in Method that sends an email to the selected contacts.  The ListBuilder tool might be ...

Hi BrianPoole, There is a limit of 1million cells of data being retrieved via the api. So if for example you specify the fields something like, RecordID, Name, BillAddress1, BillAddress2, and BillAddress3....that's 5 fields. 1 million/5 = 200.000 records at most being returned.
