Hey there, I’d like to use a filter to stop a scenario if a timestamp is older than 15 minutes from the “now”.
I am getting the original timestamp from a Notion Database item.
I first format it to unix timestamp, choose greater or equal to and then format “now” to unix, subtract 15 minutes from “now” through addMinutes and then I subtract both values from each other. For some reason, this let the scenario continue even if it shouldn’t.
Have I missed something?
The timestamp from Notion is in the Copenhagen timezone (+02:00), could it be related to that?
This particular article help me craft what I have so far: Date Manipulation - #2 by Runcorn
Any pointers much appreciated!
Welcome to the Make community!
If it’s already a date you don’t need to format it to Unix TS string variable just to compare it.
Instead of Numeric operator in the filter you can use a Date “Later than” operator to compare two date variables.
Then, at the bottom you can just do a
addMinutes(now; -15)
Formatting of date is usually only used when you want to display it to an end user who needs to look at the date in a particular format.
