timestamp formats customization

Question

Hei guys
that’s my first question to the comunity hope you can help. So I ve a doubt that I m not able to solve.

I m using an external no code platform from which I m taking data as Customer Property into Klavyio. My company is working on the telemedicine and I ask patient to book doctor appointments.

Example is:
Patient is booking a slot time and then I want to confirm him/her that his booking is confirmed (same day email) and I want to remember them at a later time that he will have the visit.

I m taking data from the app and specifically I am grasping the slot time and the date picked by the patient.

The date is coming as follows: MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS am/pm

Now I am able to transfer this info in Klavyio and I am able to write this data also in as a customization in the email I ll send them. As you can imagine this is not optimal. How can I compress the data into only MM/DD/YYYY?

Hi@Gb1996, welcome to the community!Within Klaviyo templates, you can use something called “Filters” which lets you do some basicstring manipulation for a given variable such as your custom property for the booking slot time. There’s a specific Filter called “format_date_string” that does exactly that, take one format of a Date and converts it to another.Here’s an example you can try:{{ your_variable|format_date_string|date:'n/j/y' }}This should present the date in a m/dd/yy format.You can see other options or learn more about the date format filter in this documentation:Date variables in templates referenceHope this helps and let us know if it worked!
