+8Hi 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 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!
