Date Time integration

What the Date Time package does

Date time functions and conversions. Icons made by Vectors Market from Flaticon

Date and time manipulation package with 7 nodes: Now (get current time with configurable timezone offset and format layout), Add Time (add or subtract durations in milliseconds/seconds/minutes/hours/days/weeks/years), Format Time (convert between date/time formats including standard layouts like RFC3339, ANSIC, UnixDate and custom Go format strings), Convert Timezone (convert between any UTC offsets including custom fractional offsets like UTC+05:30), Time Span (calculate difference between two dates in milliseconds), Split Date (decompose a date/time into year, month, day, hour, minute, second, weekday, and year_day components), and Is Leap Year (check if a year is a leap year). All nodes support configurable format layouts. No authentication required.

Date Time nodes (8)

These are the node IDs an agentic flow or an RPA bot uses, exactly as they appear in the Flow Designer and in flow code. An agent tool node can also be called by an AI agent on its own. The Toolkit node hands an agent several of the package operations at once.

Platforms

The Date Time package runs on Windows, macOS and Linux robots. Any Robomotion robot on these operating systems can run a flow that uses it.

How to install the Date Time package

1. Open Packages in the Robomotion Flow Designer.
2. Search for Date Time or Robomotion.DateTime, then click Install on its card.
3. The Date Time nodes appear in the node palette for everyone in the workspace, because installation is per workspace.

From a terminal, the Robomotion CLI installs the same package:

robomotion install Robomotion.DateTime

Templates that use Date Time

9 ready-made templates use Date Time nodes in their flows. Open one to start from a working flow.

• Add Datetime to File Names

  Renames every file in a directory by appending the current date to its name. A quick way to version artefacts, snapshots, or export batches.

• Convert Datetime to Text

  Converts a datetime value into a formatted text string using the Robomotion DateTime package. Demonstrates standard and custom output layouts for logging, filenames, and reports.

• Convert Text to Datetime

  Parses a text string like "2025-05-01 09:30:00" into a true datetime value the flow can work with. Shows how to declare an input layout so downstream nodes can format or compare the date.

• Days of Your Life

  Calculates how many days you have been alive by subtracting your birthday from today. Uses DateTime Now, Subtract, and a Function node to produce a clean day count.

• Get Current Time

  Reads the local date and time and formats it as a long time string (HH:mm:ss). Displays the result in an information dialog so you can verify the system clock at a glance.

• Get First Working Day of the Next Month

  Computes the first business day of next month, skipping weekends. Useful for scheduling invoices, reports, or reminders that must fire on a working day.

• Get Previous Working Date

  Walks backwards from today to find the previous working day, handling weekends through conditional logic. A building block for backdated reports or audits.

• GUI Testing Calculator

  Drives the Windows Calculator through native UI automation to validate arithmetic. A concrete template for end-to-end GUI testing of desktop apps.

• Take Screenshot of a Web Page

  Opens a URL in a browser and saves a screenshot of the rendered page to disk.
