Action Description

1. Format Date

• Description: This action converts a date field from one format to another within a workflow. For example, you can convert a date from "MM/DD/YYYY" to "YYYY-MM-DD" to standardize dates for consistent reporting or communication.

• Use Case: Useful when you need to ensure a uniform date format across various systems or reports.

2. Format Date and Time

• Description: This action converts both date and time fields from one format to another. This action is especially useful for timestamps that include both date and time components.

• Use Case: Great for workflows that deal with appointments or timestamps, where both date and time need to be reformatted.

3. Compare Dates

• Description: This action compares two dates and evaluates which date is earlier, later, or whether the dates are equal. This can be used to trigger actions based on whether one date is within a specific time range of another date.

• Use Case: Ideal for workflows where you want to compare registration dates with event dates or any other form of time-sensitive comparison.
