I have the following filter in the Get Emails module, but it does not seem to work
Hey @Sam_Krausz
Try like this
{{formatDate(addMinutes(now; -10); “DD/MM/YYYY HH mm”; “America/New_York”)}}

The Same, nothing changed
Any help or ideas on how to get the filter for date to work? I really need this to work.
I don’t think you even need the formatDate function there. Remove it.

Maybe it’s a bug? it doesn’t make sense
Any Idea?
If in doubt, we need to consult the Gmail API.
According to Searching for Messages,
the accepted two formats for Gmail are
(date only - no hours, minutes, seconds, tz)
after:2014/01/01
(seconds only, no tz)
after:1388552400
Therefore you will still need a formatDate to convert the date into a string format that Gmail accepts.
(date only - no hours, minutes, seconds, tz)
{{ formatDate(now; "YYYY/MM/DD") }}
(seconds only, no tz)
{{ formatDate(now; "X") }}
For more information, see date formats below:

It works for me. The output date is the date you received the email. If no emails exist within the criteria, it returns no bundles. But in this case, I don’t see anything wrong with your output. You got 1 bundle, which is within your criteria. Also your “Set Variable” has a bad date syntax. You forgot a “:” (HH:mm) And also, formatDate(addMinutes()) is the right one.
This is incorrect, as shown in a screenshot above,
Query: after 9AM
Actual: email was sent at 12AM (9 hours before, outside of the filter)
This is also incorrect, the colon was clearly there as seen in the first screenshot

I was clearly referring to the “Set Variable” module. Not the “Get Emails” module.
Yes, but that wasn’t posted by Sam, the original question asker.

Sorry for noticing…
This should be simple. Either way, I think all apparent solutions must be tested. It works perfect for me. Another thing I noticed is that it works with my Drive connection for some reason. I would also suggest checking your timezones once more. It smells like a timezone difference.
Please try the format as I have it in my example, just to try it, and then maybe we can move forward. This syntax is not right.

I don’t have enough information to figure this out. Maybe if you share your entire workflow. To see the whole picture. As you wish.

There is just one module Get Emails - there is no Workflow
