Current Date And Time Step

The Current date and time step checks the moment when a run reaches it and sends the run through Yes or No. It is available in both automation types.

Select A Check

Open the Current date and time step on the workflow and select an option in Check:

• Earlier than date and time — Yes applies strictly before the selected moment;
• Later than date and time — Yes applies at the selected moment and afterwards;
• Inside a period — the checked moment must be at or after the start and strictly before the end;
• Weekday — Yes applies on selected weekdays;
• Time of day — local time is checked in the configured time zone.

Fill In The Fields For The Selected Mode

For Earlier or Later, enter the date and time.

For a period, enter its start and end. The end must be later than the start.

For a weekday check, select at least one day in Weekdays.

For time of day, set From and To. The start is included and the end is excluded. If the start is later than the end, the interval crosses midnight, for example 22:00–06:00. Equal start and end values are not allowed.

Check The Time Zone And Branches

The Time zone field contains a system name such as Europe/Moscow. A new step receives the project time zone. This is especially important for weekdays and time of day because the check uses the calendar day and clock time in this zone.

Connect both outputs: Yes for a matched condition and No for every other case. If one branch is left unconnected, the editor shows a warning and a run that chooses it ends at this step. When you change the check type, fields from the other modes stop participating in the step.
