Support
Dashboard

Date from Text understands phrases such as in 2 days, next Friday, or tomorrow at 9am.

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Description
Expression	String	Yes	Natural-language date or time to parse.
Starting Date	Date & Time	No	Reference instant. Defaults to the current time.
Timezone	String	Yes	Timezone used to interpret the expression.

Output

Output	Type	Description
Date	Date & Time	The parsed instant.

For predictable results, make the phrase explicit:

next Friday at 9:00 AM

Set Starting Date in tests so relative phrases do not change from one run to the next.

Natural-language parsing is experimental and can interpret ambiguous phrases differently than intended. The action fails with Couldn't parse date when it cannot recognize the expression.

Relative DateAdd a duration to a starting date and time.
