Timezone and Date Time Pattern for Form Email Notification

If you find the {{ Response Date }} in your Email body template showing as 2021-06-03T19:51:04.558Z, it's because the add-on processes the data in ETC/GMT Timezone and its default Date Time Pattern. To display the data in your preferred Timezone and Date Time Pattern, follow these steps:

Set up Timezone and Date Time Pattern​

  1. Open the Troubleshoot menu within the add-on.

  2. Look for an option to set up your preferred Timezone and Date Time Pattern.

Set Date Time Zone

note
  • The field "Date Time Pattern" is specifically used to format {{ Response Date }}.
  • The "Date Pattern" is used to format any form field that has Date, Month, and Year.
  • If a form field is used without a year (e.g., 03-23), no formatting will be applied.
