Describe the problem/error/question
I am trying to conditionally execute a branch based on the time of the day. The following is the logic used:
{{ ((d) => { const now = d.getTime(); const start = new Date(d); start.setHours(9,0,0,0); const end = new Date(d); end.setHours(21,0,0,0); return (now >= start.getTime() && now < end.getTime()) ? “call” : “do not call”; })(new Date($now)) }}
And the past execution clearly shows that this resolves to text “call”
However, the “do not call” branch is selected instead
What is the error message (if any)?
No error messages. n8n happily selects the wrong branch.
Please share your workflow
Share the output returned by the last node
