Current Date

Current Date gives you the date and time at the moment the flow runs, in the time zone you choose. It is the simple way to let an agent or a message know “what day it is today”, something AI models don’t know on their own.

When to use it

• Give an agent today’s date so it can work out deadlines (“the invoice is due in 30 days”).
• Add the date and time to a report or an automatic message.
• Greet customers with “good morning” or “good afternoon” according to their local time.
• Record the exact moment each request was processed.

Configuration

Field	What it does
Timezone	Time zone used for the date and time. Default: UTC. It includes, among others, zones in Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and Oceania.

Time in Spain

The list has no specific option for Madrid. For mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands choose Europe/Paris or Europe/Berlin, which share the same time all year round. For the Canary Islands, choose Europe/London.

Output

The Current Date output returns a text in this format:

Current date and time in Europe/Paris: 2026-10-10 14:30:00 CEST

That is, the chosen zone, the date (year-month-day), the time and the zone abbreviation. You can connect it to a prompt, to an agent’s instructions or to any component that takes text.

Example

Your customer service assistant needs to know whether an order is past the return period.

1. Add Current Date with the Europe/London zone.
2. Connect its output to the agent’s prompt, for example after “Today’s date is:”.
3. The agent compares the purchase date with today’s date and replies whether a return is still possible.
