Master Dates & Times: n8n Formatting & Calculations
Educational workflow demonstrating date/time handling in n8n using Date & Time node and Luxon expressions for formatting, custom dates, and math operations.
This workflow serves as a comprehensive tutorial for managing dates and times in n8n automations. It showcases two primary methods: the straightforward Date & Time node for calculations (e.g., adding 12 hours) and formatting, and advanced Luxon expressions for precise control like {{$now}}, {{$today}}, date math (plus/minus hours/days), and weekday names.
Key examples include generating 'now' with seconds, tomorrow's date, one hour ago, and more. Sticky notes guide users through execution, inpu
