Why does Zapier add many 00000’s to the time and won’t separate the date and the time into two separate fields
 

Scheduled Event Start Time Date (accurate) time (NOT accurate)

 

Hi ​@annoyed new user 

Try adding this Zap action: Formatter > Date & Time > Format

Formatter help: https://zapier.com/apps/formatter/integrations#help


You can set it like this to get this format May 10 2025 15:30:00

Hi ​@annoyed new user,
 
We just wanted to see how everything is going with your Zap. Did everyone’s recommendation get the job done? Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance with your Zap. We're glad to address any concerns and assist you.
 
We're looking forward to your response.


@Troy Tessalone  ​@JammerS  Does it add an additional step to the flow using a Formatter? I’m using the free version and I’m limited to two steps in my flow. I’m not sold on Zapier at all. I’m simply trying to set basic flows and it won’t work. I appreciate your help!

Yes, Formatter steps count as a step in the Zap.

Using Formatter in a Zap that is turned ON requires a Zapier paid plan.

 

The data returned from Calendly is in ISO format. (ISO = International Organization for Standardization)

This is common and it is common to have to use Formatter steps to transform data points.
