Formatting Options for Message Variables on Date/Time Fields

Date Released: 2023-04-13

When using a date/time field in a Message Variable (e.g. conversation.startTime) in Conversation Rules or the Quiq Bot Designer, you can now select a Format option for the date/time. Previously the value would always be shown as a number representing the unix timestamp of the field.

When a date/time field is selected for a Message Variable, the Format can be set to Date and time, and then additional Parameters can be selected to choose the formatting string to use for the display of the Message Variable's value. By default when no specific Display format is set, the date/time will be formatted like 4/12/2023.
