How to Format/Transform data from Transfers, not Zaps

Hello,

I am using the Transfer feature to automatically pull a table from Excel in to Google Sheets once a day, all of the dates are in UK Format, however it somehow gets formatted to USA format on the output to Google Sheets eg. 11/06/2022 becomes 06/11/2022.

How do I fix this?

I don’t see an option to use formatter with Transfers, is this only availlable with Zaps?

I have set my Zapier account to UK Timezone and can’t find any options to transform data pulled from Transfers instead of Zaps.

Hi @JoshuaA 

Good question.

Currently Transfers only support a trigger step and 1 action step.

Perhaps check the google sheets settings? You can specify your Locale there too. From the spreadsheet, click ‘File’ then ‘Settings’
