HTTP/Webhook - How to insert DATE value without TIME

Help
1

Hi, I have an HTTP/Webhook step and am populating field values from a JSON response. However, I am trying to insert a date without the time value.

For example, the DateTime value I am receiving from the JSON payload is 2022-11-07T12:46:45.232Z and I am wanting to reduce it to 2022-11-07. How do I go about doing this?

Hi @slader

First off, welcome to the Pipedream community. Happy to have you!

What you’re looking for is called date formatting.

We actually just included an example of building a date formatting step in our docs here:

You can copy and paste that code in that example into a Node.js code step to reuse it in your own workflow.

Here’s a short video on how to build it and use it:

Thank you so much, seems to be working like a charm to bring up the formatted date input, however, I looked through https://date-fns.org/ and must say I’m still struggling to figure out how to define the date format. I’m trying to set the format to yyyy-mm-dd

Watch this part of the video where we go over a similar format:

It includes using day, month and year. You can just modify that example with dashes to accomplish what you’re looking for. Best of luck!
