The Date block

The Date block sends the specified date as the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970).

Output

The Date block’s single output port sends the specified date as the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

Setup

When you add a Date block to your flow, it shows the date when it was added. Click the date in the block to open a calendar where you can select a different date.

You can insert the Date block into certain blocks instead of connecting them. This makes the selected date available to the block it’s inserted into. For a list of blocks you can insert the Date block into, see Related blocks.
