Date Formatting on Email Templates Using $-variables

Updated Jun 11, 2026671 viewsView on usehalo.com

By default when using $-variables to populate dates (e.g. date occurred), it will use the following format DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM tt.

21/09/2023 15:50 PM. 

Please note that capitalisation of letter within the brackets is case sensitive and if used differently to above will affect the outcome of the format. 

You can use {} to determine a personalised format.

For full date and time view:  Thursday, 21 September at 15:50, use: 

$DATEOCCURED{dddd,dd MMMM} at $TIMEOCCURED{HH:mm}.

For day and month only: 21/09,use: 

$DATEOCCURED{DD/MM}
