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

Can you use 'sys_created_on' instead of the label created.

--Jogen

Notification has defined on the user table

Please follow the thread it can be helpful.

Client Script Date/Time Functions

code:

var ajax = new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils');  

ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','getNowDateTime');  

ajax.getXML(doSomething);  

function doSomething(response){  

var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");  

alert(answer);

Hi Naveen,

Running something similar to your code in Background scripts gives me the following output

var created = new GlideDateTime();    

gs.print("created "+ created);  

*** Script: created 2015-09-03 08:23:41

Timestamp is in GMT

Have you checked to see if adding ${mail_script:Test} to the Subject line works as you expect? Perhaps with a very simple script.

Best Regards

Tony
