Hi,

 

how can I use variables ( e.g. todays date) in a filter?

I want to run the next step ONLY if the date is > today()

 

Do I need here an extra step before this action is called to set the date?
I haven’t found a way yet.

I’m not sure if there’s an easier way, but I’ve used now a Date/Time formatter to generate the timestamp of the clickup due date, then I’ve used JS to get the current timestamp:D and then I’m comparing them in the action🤣

Overcomplicated? Is there an easier way?
