    Hi Brian,

    in the documentation (https://noptin.com/guide/sending-emails/email-tags/) I read the following about the date tag:

    Displays today’s date, in the format set in your WordPress settings.

    My WordPress settings are “j. F Y” — which results in “1. April 2023”.

    The date in the admin notification mail I just created to get to know about new subscribers the result looks like this: “2023-04-01”.

    Where can/should I set the date format that fits?

    Cheers, Frank

    The date tag defaults to Y-m-d when used in automation rules so as to allow date based calculations in conditional logic.

    The next update will allow formatting and localizing the date and time.

    You’ll be able to use it like this:-

    [[date format="j, F Y" localized=1]]
[[time format="g:i a" localized=1]]

    Or if you need to display a relative date and time…

    [[date relative="tomorrow" format="j, F Y" localized=1]]
[[time relative="+3 hours" format="g:i a" localized=1]]

    You can add the following patch to your site if you wish to start using this immediately.
