Streamlined Date Comparison in Conditions

Introduction

We’ve streamlined the way you can compare dates within conditions, enhancing the user experience with a significant update. This improvement allows you to compare one date custom field directly to another.

Simplified Date Comparison Process

Before the Update
  • Previously, comparing two dates required converting both to seconds using the “Format date” action and then comparing the numbers.
After the Update
  1. Create Date Custom Fields: Define your date custom fields for the comparison.
  2. Use Condition Block: In the flow, add a ‘Condition’ block where you want to compare the dates.
  3. Set Date Comparison: Choose the ‘Date & Time’ comparison option and select your custom fields to compare.

Benefits

  • Efficiency: Saves time with a more direct method for comparing dates.
  • Ease of Use: Eliminates the need for complex conversions to seconds.
  • Accuracy: Reduces potential errors from manual conversions.
  • Convenience: Simplifies the flow-building process.

Conclusion

This update is a game-changer for creating flows that require date comparisons, offering a user-friendly approach that saves time and reduces complexity.
