Get Date and Time Action

GetDateTime

Date/Time

Use current Date/Time

Use specific Date/Time

Select if you want to use the current date/time or a specific date/time.

Manipulate Date/Time

use this option to either add or subtract a time period to/from the date/time. You need to choose either "Add" or "Subtract", enter an amount (you may use variables in this field), and then the units: Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, or Years. For example, if you wanted to subtract 5 days from today's date, simply choose "Subtract", enter 5 in the middle field, and then select "Days". If the amount field isn't an integer (or the variable used doesn't return an integer), then the action will fail. Leave the value field blank to use the date/time as-is.
