  • 1.  Request Body Template

    Within the "Request Body Template" of a Data Action that I have working, is the following line

    "DateTimeStamp": "${input.DateTimeStamp}",

    The DA is called from an Outbound Campaign, where it seems we don't have the powers of manipulation that we might have on an Inbound Flow, but ideally what I want to do with this is add 73 hours to it.

    Any suggestions ???

    What is the format of the DateTimeStamp?

    Hi Jason ... something like this ... 2023-03-22T21:00Z

    I was hoping it would be a UNIX timestamp that is just a big number, that we could do a little math with. For that style of timestamp we would need something more like this idea is asking for:

    Thanks Jason, yeah, will vote for that as its certainly a way forward. Needed something now though so we have had to go a little 'off piste' to pull something together. The underlying purpose for this was that we wanted to add up to three phone numbers from a single record to a Dialler DNC List, with an Expiration Date.

    What we have ended up with is this ...

    • Campaigns calls a Data Action and passes in three phone numbers
    • Data Action Fires an API that Triggers a Workflow, passing it the three phone numbers
    • Workflow calculates +73 hours to Current Date Time
    • Workflow calls Data Action, pointed at an API that populates DNC List with Phone numbers and Expiration Date

    Like I say, its a bit longwinded, but we couldn't see a better way as we have multiple Call Lists, that all need to be aware of the same DNC List

    That definitely seems like a reasonable way to implement your requirement given the current constraints.
