Date tag

Date tag is able to place the date and time the automation was completed even a relative date. This tag can be found under the Date and time group of tags:

Current date {date} or {date:FORMAT}

You can place the date tag as {date} or {date:FORMAT} to display the date and time the automation was completed.

In the {date:FORMAT} tag, you need to replace the FORMAT text by the date and time format you want to display the date. For example, to display the date in a format like “Day/Month/Year”, you need to place the tag like {date:d/m/Y}.

The default format for the {date} tag is “Y-m-d H:i:s” that will display the date and time like “Year-Month-Day Hour:Minutes:Seconds”.

Here is a list of all supported formats you can use.

Relative date {date:FORMAT:VALUE}

The date tag has support for relative dates letting you calculate a future or past date and time from the automation completion date and time.

Using the {date:FORMAT:VALUE} tag, you need to replace the FORMAT text by the date and time format and the VALUE text by the relative format you want to display the date.

Here are a few examples of relative dates:
