Fetch Month/Year via Email Scripting

Anonymous · ‎06-06-2016

Hello Everyone,

I have an email which is to be sent periodically, I was wondering if there is a way to automatically fetch the current month/last month/current year. Much like a token would do. I tried to google it but I could only find it could be done using Email Scripting Token.

My email line reads like this:

"Please submit any pending reports for upload for the month of <Last Month>. The last date for submission is 10th, <Current Month> <Current Year>."

Is there any way it can fetch the information automatically.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Harshit,

#set($calendar = $date.getCalendar())

$calendar.add(2,-1)

$date.format('MMMM',$calendar)

(come back and mark me as correct if this works for you).

#set($calendar = $date.getCalendar()) //get a calendar

$calendar.add(2,-1) //use the calendar add tool, init month (2) and -1

$date.format('MMMM',$calendar) //display the date in the format MMMM
