Question

I want to enter the current time in a Date field, by using a zapier code like {current_time} as example.
How to do? What to write, as the trigger doesn’t provide this information.

Does-it exist some zapier codes available we can use for that purpose, without using CODE by Zapier: 

  • current time in that format HH:MM
  • current date in this format  YYMMDD

I am intersting if you wrote some articles with commun zapier’s code or other solutions to get these two informations (current time and date).

Regards

David
