Current Time

Returns the current time

Overview

This node returns the current time in ISO 8601 format. It is useful in workflows where you need to timestamp data, log events, or trigger actions based on the current time. For example, it can be used to add a timestamp to records or to schedule tasks.

Use Case Examples

  1. Adding a timestamp to incoming data records.
  2. Logging the current time when an event occurs.

Output

JSON

  • time - The current time in ISO 8601 string format

Troubleshooting

  • If the node returns the same timestamp for multiple executions, ensure the workflow is triggered anew each time to get the updated current time.
