How do I insert day of week into OneNote page?

OneNote has keyboard shortcuts to insert date and time. These do not include the day of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.). 

Is it possible to create a zap to do this that’s triggered by a new keyboard shortcut or modify the format of date to include the day of week.

Thanks.

Hi @SamStam 

Review the available OneNote Zap app triggers/actions: https://zapier.com/apps/onenote/integrations#triggers-and-actions

 

Possibly use a Formatter > Date & Time > Format step: https://zapier.com/apps/formatter/help

Sorry for the late reply.

 

To get the current date inserted at the current insertion point in a given note in OneNote you can press Alt+Shift+D. The only trigger I found in Zapier is New Note in Section. That won’t work for my use case. Is there a way I can write my own trigger that will override Alt+Shift+D or use a new keyboard combination?

 

Thanks

Did you try adding this step in your Zap?

Possibly use a Formatter > Date & Time > Format step: https://zapier.com/apps/formatter/help

My problem is not how to format the date in Zapier. My problem is how to trigger the zap in OneNote.

Yes. I found that page. The only trigger for OneNote is New Note in Section. I need my code to be triggered by a keyboard shortcut.

I don’t think that’s going to be possible

You would have to explore whether OneNote supports custom shortcuts that can trigger a webhook.

Zap trigger: Webhook - Catch Hook

Thanks. I’ll check out webhook.
