Dynamic date token for email

Anonymous · ‎03-21-2016

Hi, we send out a sales email with different deadline dates and would like to create a dynamic date token that automatically updates this field. For example, we would like to have one token that uses “today's date” + 5 days and another token that uses “today’s date” + 7 days. Is there a way to easily set this up right from the token field?

Thanks!

your email script tokens would look something like this

for 5 days

#set($dateInFiveDays = $date.calendar)

$dateInFiveDays.add(10,120)

$date.format('full_date',$dateInFiveDays.time)

and like this

for 7days

#set($dateInSevenDays = $date.calendar)

$dateInSevenDays.add(10,168)

$date.format('full_date',$dateInSevenDays.time)

The key value is the 120 and 168 (24hrs x number of days), You would also create two seperate tokens.

Make sense?
