Within Pinpoint, dates are typically returned in the international format, where the year comes first, followed by the month, and then the day (for example: 21 October, 2025).
If you’re creating an email template or document, you can customize how any date variable is displayed. This can help you match local preferences, such as showing dates in US or UK format.
How Can I Format a Date Variable?
When inserting a date variable, use the date filter to reformat it.
Here’s the basic syntax:
{{ date_variable | date: "FORMAT" }}For example:
{{ date_today | date: "%m/%d/%Y" }}Would display:
10/21/2025

What date formatting rules apply to Interviews?
Interview scheduling emails always display in full date format. This includes the candidate’s time zone (which they pick when scheduling a slot), so both sides see the correct local time. For example, an Interview Confirmation email will say:
The interview is scheduled for 7:00am on Tuesday 21 October 2025 (Mountain Daylight Time).
