Need a variable to call in the email delivery that references the time that an email is sent

[RRafiki]

Hi Experts,

We are looking to set up a variable in ACS (using a content block) to deliver an email that directly references the date/time an email was sent. Is it possible to reference the send time in the email?

If they use JavaScript to call out the current date, if someone views the email as a web page, the code will run live and return the date/time that the user is viewing the email.

Thanks,

Hi @RRafiki ,

In classic, to achieve this use case we will be using the below script.

<%= formatDate(new Date(), "%2D-%2M-%4Y %2H:%2N:%2S") %>
<%= formatDate(new Date(), "%2D-%2M-%4Y") %>

Try this in ACS, Hope it might work.
