When a flow runs, the Now block sends the current date and time as the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970). This block is useful for generating timestamps and tracking when flows are triggered.
The Now block has a single output port that sends the current date and time.
Connect the Now block’s output port to another block’s input port. It sends the current date and time from its output port.
To see the Now block in an example flow, check out Flow Snippets: Now.
For a tutorial that uses the Now block, see Calculate the years since a milestone.
