Use a date field in the import mapping

Import a date field

If you have an import in Channable that contains a field with a date in it, map it to a 'Date & Time' field type so that you can use special 'Date' rules to filter based on this date.

Follow these steps to map your field to the 'Date & Time' type:

1. Go to Setup > Imports > [Added import] > Edit mapping. 
2. Locate your internal field with the date in it.
3. Click on the Edit button
4. In the pop up, at the Type field, select 'Date & Time'.
5. Click on Save and import. There is a new Custom date format dropdown next to the Edit field. 
6. Click on the Custom date format dropdown
7. Choose a default date format. Or choose to specify a custom date format. 

Date formats

The custom formats on the bottom of the table below are written using the "strftime" format.
