Feature Details

Date-Based Logic

Date-based logic supports static dates, relative dates and days the week. This is done using three comparison operators: is, greater than, and less than. Multiple rules can be combined to match date ranges or exclude specific dates from the match.

Note: “Is Not” is a condition too, by selecting “None” (in “Type of Condition“)

Static Dates

To compare a Date field to a static date, select the Date field, choose a comparison operator, and enter the static date to compare against.

Display field if current date is after of March 04, 2022:

Note: Date values must be entered using the HTML5 date format: YYYY-MM-DD

Relative Dates

There’s two ways that relative dates are supported in Date Fields:

• Comparing a user-inputted date to a relative date.
• Comparing the current date to a static or relative date.

Today

Comparing user input to relative dates is done using the conditional-logic-only merge tag {today}. It allows conditional logic to be applied to fields based on whether the selected date is, is greater than or is less than the current date.

Display field if selected date is today:

The {today} merge tag supports modifiers for making date comparisons like:

• Date is at least 2 weeks away: {today:+14}
• Date is no more than 90 days before today: {today:-90}

Days of the Week

Use the following conditional-logic-only merge tags to check for a specific day of the week: {monday}, {tuesday}, {wednesday}, {thursday}, {friday}, {saturday}, {sunday}. These are used in the same manner as the {today} merge tag.

Weekend or Weekday

Using the days of the week merge tags, you can apply conditional logic based on whether the date falls on a weekend or weekday.

First, we’ll tackle checking for weekend dates.

1. Add a new rule
2. Select “Any” as Type of Condition
3. Select your Date field from the first drop down.
4. Select is from the second drop down.
5. Enter {saturday} in the third input.
6. Add a new condition by clicking the “Add rule” button at the end of the panel and follow steps 3, 4 and 5 again.
7. Enter {sunday} for the third input on the new condition.
8. Save

You can follow the same steps to check for a weekday. The only difference is: Change the Type of Condition, from “Any” to “None“.
