You can adjust the date or time value in a date/time field with modifiers. Date/time fields are marked with a calendar icon and a clock icon .
Date/time modifiers need:
- A plus sign (“+”) or minus sign (“-”) to increase or decrease the value.
- A number for the amount you want to adjust the value by.
- A time unit for the unit of time that you want to adjust the value by.
Modifiers use the following time units:
- s: add an “s” for seconds
- m: add an “m” for minutes
- h: add an “h” for hours
- d: add a “d” for days
- mo: add “mo” for months
- y: add a “y” for years
Examples of modifiers:
- +1y: adds 1 year
- -6d: subtracts 6 days
- -4h -3m: subtracts 4 hours and 3 minutes
To use a modifier, enter a space after the date or time value, then enter the modifier. You can use multiple modifiers with a date or time value by separating them with a space.
Tip
- To adjust the date or time value in a non-date/time field or change the format of a date, use a Formatter step instead.
- Zapier has a number of supported formats to interpret any date or time you provide such as tomorrow at noon.
