Welcome to the community @Tbiyss!

That is actually more a JavaScript question and less n8n related. So you should easily find an answer if you do a Google search.

Anyway here very fast the basics:

new Date().getTime(); // Now in epoch milliseconds
new Date().getTime()+(20*24*60*60*1000); // In 20 days in epoch milliseconds
new Date('2020-08-01').getTime(); // The 1st of August in epoch milliseconds

You can use the above in an IF-Node and it will then route accordingly.

It’s now much more simple with Luxon which is included in recent n8n versions:
