Today

Purpose:

This DocBits card compares today's date to a specified date, allowing workflows to execute based on the relationship between the current date and the provided date. It is particularly useful for time-based automation, deadline management, or triggering scheduled tasks.

Functionality:

• Date Comparison: This card evaluates today's date against a specified date using the following conditions:

  • Equals (=): Checks if today's date matches the specified date.

  • Not Equals (≠): Ensures today's date is different from the specified date.

  • Greater Than (>): Confirms that today's date is after the specified date.

  • Greater or Equals (≥): Ensures today's date is on or after the specified date.

  • Lesser Than (<): Checks if today's date is before the specified date.

  • Less or Equals (≤): Ensures today's date is on or before the specified date.

• Date Input: Users provide the date to compare against today's date.

Usage:

This card is ideal for workflows involving deadlines, reminders, or time-sensitive conditions, ensuring actions are taken or restricted based on the current date.

Example Scenario:

• A user configures the card to check if today is greater than (>) "2024-11-15". If the condition is met, the workflow triggers a follow-up notification for overdue tasks. If not, the workflow continues without interruption.

By using the "Today's Date Validation" card, organizations can automate time-based processes, meet deadlines efficiently, and maintain workflow accuracy.
