The Date & Time block

Date & Time block

The Date & Time block is a data block that sends the specified date and time as the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970).

Output

The Date & Time block's single output port sends the specified date and time as the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

Setup

When you add a Date & Time block to your flow, it shows a placeholder date and time. Select the date and time in the block to open a calendar and clock where you can select a different date and time.

You can embed the Date & Time block in certain blocks instead of connecting them. This makes the selected date and time available to the block it's embedded in. For a list of blocks that can embed the Date & Time block, see Related blocks.
