How to populate the current date in email notification?

[Naveen Kumar J]

Hi,

I am trying to populate the current date in the email notification by using an email script.

Here is my email script: Test

var created = new GlideDateTime(); 
gs.log("created"+ created);


template.print(created);

My notification subject is:

Your Time Card Submission is Late for the Reporting Period of ${mail_script:Test}

But this is not working.

Thanks,

Naveen

Yes, but only in the body. not in the subject

Hi!

Is there a way to modify your script to show the time in the system timzone for that user?

Thanks!

You can set dynamic subject through script using email object

It is working   .

I have done this using email.setSubject.

var created = new GlideDateTime();

gs.print("created"+ created);

email.setSubject("Your Time Card Submission is Late for the reporting period of "+ created);

Hi Naveen,

try this:

var nowdt = new Packages.com.glide.glideobject.GlideDateTime();

nowdt.setDisplayValue(gs.nowDateTime());

var cur_date = nowdt.getNumericValue();

cur_date will give you current date.
