Date and Wait Node

[LRZ416]

hi.
Im sending a date from a form to a wait node.
the at specified time is an expression → {{ $json.date + "T16:00:00-04:00" }} to do another action at 4pm on the the form date.

simple I thought, but it doesn’t trigger at the date/time …not sure why.
any thoughts would be welcome

Setup

I’m the documentation of the Wait node I found this:

Try setting up the time manually, using the time picker. See if that works as expected.

If it does, then change the field to an expression and check how it is formatted.

The wait step is working, just not outputing anything.

Here’s a way to do it. Instead of the wait until time, create a loop testing if the time has passed, wait 5 seconds, then test again. Here’s the workflow.

hey thanks for the replies!

went with the assumption the expression of the date/time was incorrect.

after some tries this ended up working:

old

{{ $json.date + "T09:18:00-04:00" }}

new

{{ $json.date + "T09:18:00" }}
