Convert a timestamp to a date

Use an External Request in your flow to convert a timestamp to a date, then save the returned date value to a custom field.

Configure the request

1. Open External Request in your flow.
2. Set Request Type to GET.
3. Enter this Request URL:

https://cloud.bualpro.com/convertdate.php?timestamp={{current_time}}

Map the response

1. Open Response mapping.
2. Enter date in JSONPath.
3. Under Save to custom field, select the field that will hold the date. The screenshot uses a field named Tarikh.
4. Click Save.

Check the result

Use Test Now to inspect the response. A successful response includes status, date, and timezone:

{
  "status": "ok",
  "date": "02 Nov 2024",
  "timezone": "Asia/Kuala_Lumpur"
}

The date has a two-digit day, a three-letter month, and a four-digit year. 02 Nov 2024 is an example, not a fixed result.

Use the custom field in your flow wherever you need the saved date.
