When to use this node #

Calculate dates by adding or subtracting time periods (seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months). Returns timestamp, ISO date, Unix timestamp, and human-readable date. Leave baseDate empty to use current time. Perfect for temporary bans, reminders, expiration dates. Works seamlessly with Date Picker, Time Picker, and DateTime Picker nodes - connect their output to baseDate field.

Add Date Calculator to a workflow branch using the node picker. Configure its fields in the inspector, then connect the next step.

Configure the fields #

Field	What to enter
Base Date (optional)	Starting date/time. Can be: • Empty (uses current time) • Output from Date Picker node (ISO format) • Output from DateTime Picker node (ISO format) • ISO date: '2024-01-15T10:30:00Z' • Unix timestamp: '1705318200' or '1705318200000' • Any valid date string (DD/MM/YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, etc.) 💡 TIP: Connect Date Picker or DateTime Picker output directly here! Example workflow: Date Picker → Date Calculator (add 7 days) → Use result Leave empty for most use cases (add time to now)
Operation (optional)	Action: 'add' (default) or 'subtract'. Example: operation=add, hours=24 → tomorrow Choices: `add`, `subtract`. Example/default shown in the editor: `add`.
Seconds (optional)	Number of seconds to add/subtract. Example: 30 for 30 seconds
Minutes (optional)	Number of minutes to add/subtract. Example: 15 for 15 minutes
Hours (optional)	Number of hours to add/subtract. Example: 24 for 1 day, 2 for 2 hours
Days (optional)	Number of days to add/subtract. Example: 7 for 1 week, 1 for tomorrow
Weeks (optional)	Number of weeks to add/subtract. Example: 1 for 1 week, 2 for 2 weeks
Months (optional)	Number of months to add/subtract (handles variable month lengths). Example: 1 for next month

Use the result #

Choose the output from the variable picker in a later step. Output names below identify the values supplied by this node; the picker inserts the correct reference for your node instance.

Output	Meaning / label
`timestamp`	Timestamp (milliseconds)
`unixTimestamp`	Unix Timestamp (seconds)
`isoDate`	ISO Date (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ)
`humanDate`	Human-Readable Date
`success`	Success (true/false)
`error`	Error Message (if any)

Connect the next step #

Connect the continuation shown on the canvas. Some nodes calculate their branches from the configured options. Read each branch label in the editor and connect the paths your workflow needs.

Test it in a workflow #

Configure this node with a small, recognizable test input or a test resource.
Check the variables from preceding steps and the connection selected in the inspector.
Save the workflow. For event-driven flows, generate the actual event; use Run only for a Manual workflow.
Open Workflow Activity and check the outcome before enabling wider use.

If something goes wrong #

Check empty variables, selected resource IDs, and any fields that appeared after resource selection.
Check the failed step in Workflow Activity before retrying. If the action may already have completed, inspect the destination first to avoid duplicates.
Follow the troubleshooting guide for a symptom-by-symptom checklist.

Catalog coverage #

This is the currently documented selection. Chatigram continues to add nodes, triggers, App Connections, and integrations. Use each page’s review date and the current application selectors to check what is available now; this catalog is not a fixed limit on future features.
