I’ve read the community for how to get the harder-to-read date cleaned up for automation with emails that include that field. I made a new column that formats the date/time to MM/DD/YYY and it populates fine in the table. However, the emails show nothing of that date and just has the space blank in the email.




Here’s the formula I have to set the date format:



Any suggestions?

Hello Hello!


Could you do me a quick favor and retest your full automation flow starting from the trigger and take a look at the output?


I mirrored your formula and automation and didn’t have any issues with the value being populated into the email.


Generally, I find that retesting the trigger in automation resolves a lot of strange behaviors.



Let me know if it still leads to an empty value in the email preview and we’ll troubleshoot it!

I had done that a couple times, but I must not have tested from the very start after the last update to the formatting of the date.


Thank you!
