Parse Date step

Introduction

The "Parse Date" step is used to convert a text representation of a date and time into a standardized date format. This step is essential for processing and formatting date strings into usable date objects within your automations.

Configuration

• Value: The text input representing the date and time that needs to be parsed. This parameter is required.

• Format: The date format expression used to interpret the input value. This parameter is required. The format should follow DateTimeFormatter pattern, e.g., "dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss". For more details on date formatting, refer to Java DateTimeFormatter Documentation.

• Time Zone: Specifies the time zone to be used when parsing the date. This parameter is required to ensure the date is interpreted correctly relative to the desired time zone.

Outputs

• Date: The parsed date object from the provided input. This output can be used in subsequent steps that require a date format for further processing.
