trouble formatting time

D

Hi - im pulling a webinar timestamp from demio and trying to reformat into a time h:mm a and cant seem to turn it into anything recognizable using the formatter. 

it implies I can create my own format for outputting a time from the formatter - but im only seeing dropdown choices (what am i missing here? ) 

any ideas how to get a usable webinar time to send to my ESP active campaign? 

thanks! 

ps - the time is pulled in in the X format - or as part of a date and time - i cant seem to get either to work.  the date comes over just fine - just cant get the time in a usable form.

Hi Dana,

It’s not necessarily SUPER obvious how you’d use a custom format, so here’s a quick animated GIF to demonstrate that :)

 

 

So you’d click on Custom and then type in the custom format that you want, in the box that shows Type or insert.... 

Can you give that a try to see if it helps?
