Description
Supercharge your automations with this intelligent n8n workflow that handles everything from simple date math to advanced Luxon-powered expressions. Perfect for scheduling, reminders, time-based triggers, or analytics — this flow gives you total control over time in your workflows.
⚙️ What This Workflow Does
✅ Manual Trigger – Instantly test or integrate into broader flows with a click
✅ Date & Time Node (Quick Method) – Easily perform operations like “+12 hours” or format outputs (e.g., MMMM dd, yyyy)
✅ Set Node (Advanced Method) – Use JavaScript and Luxon to calculate values like:
Now
Tomorrow
1 Hour Ago
Day of the Week
✅ Edit Node – Reformat ISO strings into human-readable text using .fromISO() — ideal for sending data to frontends or APIs
🔄 Automates These Use Cases
✅ Add or subtract hours, days, or months from a timestamp
✅ Convert ISO strings into formatted, readable dates
✅ Generate relative dates like “yesterday,” “next week,” etc.
✅ Apply custom date formats like YYYY-MM-DD or weekday names
✅ Create reusable logic for reminders, analytics, and more
