Hi @farhan_yusuf

You can use $now to simply check what the date is. and then use Luxon to get what you need.

Hi @farhan_yusuf

You can use this in any node with expression editor.

Thanks @BramKn,

Its complete, but I need to add some code to make the time same as my country. This is my code right now “{{DateTime.now().toISODate()}}” without double quotes. So thanks

I have done it last time.
This is my code:
“{{DateTime.now().setZone(‘system’).minus({ days: 1 }).toISODate()}}”

You can use this as an example I think.
For timezones make sure your n8n has the correct timezone set up
