HelpGuides › Date & Time Formats

Any text boxes in the app which ask for a date or time support a number of different formats.

Dates and times can be combined together - the safest way is usually to write date at time to avoid any ambiguity, e.g.: Jun 23 at 5pm.

Dates and times will always assumed to be in the future, unless explicitly stated otherwise. For example, if today's date is July 15th, and you set a step as being due on July 5th, the app will assume you mean July 5th next year, unless you explicitly write the year along with the date.
