How-To
Merge fields can be added to a template through the Merge Field Picker or by typing/copying them directly into the body of the template. Learn more in our 'How to Pull in Dynamic Information' section here.
Current Date Long
Pulls the current date written out with the year.
-
Merge Field: {{system.current_date_long}}
-
Example: May 19, 2020
Current Date Short
Pulls the current date written out with month and day only.
-
Merge Field: {{system.current_date_short}}

Example: May 19
Current Date Numerical
Pulls the current date in MM/DD/YYYY format.
-
Merge Field: {{system.current_date_numerical}}

Please note: This merge field will pull the date in MM/DD/YYYY format regardless of the locale setting selected under Basic Setup. However, a filter can be added to the merge field to output the date in a DD/MM/YYYY format:
{{system.current_date_numerical | date: "%d/%m/%Y" }}
