Hi all,
Simple question here: is it possible to use the built-in Klaviyo date personalization functions to get a full name for the prior month?
This article explains how you can use variables like `{% current_month_name %}` to get the name of the current month (e.g., “December”).
However, for my use case, I want the name of the prior month (e.g., “November”).
Is this possible using the built-in date personalization functions? Any ideas?
Cheers,
Kevin.
Hi
Thanks for sharing your question with us!
This is a great question! I’ll need to follow up with our editor team to confirm whether or not this would be possible. I will circle back with an answer when I have one.

Hi
Thanks for your patience!
While we currently don’t have that functionality within the variable, you can use this workaround suggested by one of our editor team members!
{% today "%Y-%m-%d" as today %} {% with today|format_date_string|date:'n' as today %}
{% if today = '2' %}
January
{% elif today = '3' %}
February
{% elif today = '4' %}
March
{% elif today = '5' %}
April
{% elif today = '6' %}
May
{% elif today = '7' %}
June
{% elif today = '8' %}
July
{% elif today = '9' %}
August
{% elif today = '10' %}
September
{% elif today = '11' %}
October
{% elif today = '12' %}
November
{% elif today = '1' %}
December
{% endif %}
{% endwith %}Hope this helps!
