In workflow named qudify to zoho crm. I am using text formater with {{space}}. Hence entry in zoho get derived from it. Cab you suggest how to make it 8 pm from there. If that is done entry in Zoho Crm could be changed as per your suggestion. Thanks
Kindly tell us in which number of action steps you have the date and time in the response, and check the possibility to convert the text to a date format.
And was the date always come in the same format(text)?
So, for time it is step no. 6, 13 & 16 and date is step 7.
Yes all is text as it gets extracted from an email.
We put time as 8pm instead of 8 pm in tool through which we get an automated email as we are using in Text Formatter Split Text {{space}}
