Hi Team,

I hope you’re doing well.

I’m currently working on an automation workflow that scans a specific webpage and extracts articles updated within the last week. I’m using the **HTTP module** in [Make.com](http://Make.com) to fetch the page content, followed by a **Text Parser module** to extract the relevant data. The parsed output includes a `Published Date` field for each article.

I’m looking to **filter these articles based on their published date** — specifically to pass only those published in the **last 7 days** to the next module in the scenario.

Could you please advise:

- Which [Make.com](http://Make.com) module is best suited for this type of date-based filtering?
- How I might structure the condition, especially if the date format is `DD/MM/YYYY`?

Your guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,  
Debasish Dash

Hi @Debasish_Dash,

Can you try something like this to see if it works?

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/c/a/cae80039e587f74d89ce5fd1591433c3f4430d4a.png)

addDays(now;-7) confirmed equals June 2nd so I believe this should work.
