Hi ​@Jazzy3 

Yes, you can dynamically set dates in filters, but not by typing {{today}} directly.

Two ways to do it:

1. In Zapier Tables:
Use the "is within" rule → select dynamic ranges like "Last 7 days" or "This calendar week".
 Documentation Link

2. In Filter by Zapier:
Add a Formatter by Zapier step → Date/Time → Format → set Input to "Current time" → then compare that output to your date field.
 Documentation Link

For time:  Create reusable variables to use in Zaps 

If you're still running into issues after trying these steps, drop a screenshot of the error and a quick description of what your Zap is doing, happy to take a look!

And if you'd rather just get it sorted quickly, I offer a free 20-min Zapier troubleshooting call. Book it under Resources on my Zapier Directory profile: https://zapier.com/partnerdirectory/automatemybiz

Hey ​@Jazzy3,

What exactly do you mean by dynamically set the date? 

If yes, you can use {{zap_meta_human_now}} to dynamically get the current time and then format it using a Formatter → Date/Time → Format. 

The exact Zap really depends on your use case as workflows are usually personalized to user’s needs. Hope it helps!

Yes, of course!

If the field that you are using for comparison is already date/time, Zapier will show you drop down options as shown in the below image:
