Calendly start time issue: Unexpected additional 4 minutes - Need formatting help


Need suggestions on how to modifiy/format the start time pulling in from Calendly. I have no idea why it’s adding 4 minutes to my time. I figured out how to format it, which before there was a “pretty” option before that just handled that formatting and it was great, but I figured it out, military time isn’t great, but fine whatever -- but it’s adding 4 minutes to the start time. It’s not showing in the data pulled that I’m formatting. It’s also not a buffer on Calendly’s side - I checked, buffer is set to none - how do I format this to remove 4 minutes off the time?

Hi ​@hmrowe 

You need to change the time to HH:mm A.

MM is for MONTH.

 

Click the field label that is underlined to see a tooltip with more info about how to format the datetime.

OK, by real luck I think I fixed the whole -4 minutes thing.  I used the formatter and modified the time again. That said - why on earth is that even happening? Like in the data that pulls in it shows 2 pm and then when it displays formatted it adds on 4 minutes for fun?! Data wise - this isn’t adding up.

Gotcha - MM/DD/YYYY, hh:mm A -- fixed the issue. So close, but the devil is in the details. Thank you!
