Parse and format times from natural language input.
Add Time Picker 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 |
|---|---|
| Time Input | Natural language time input. Examples below show format - type the value shown after colon. Text in parentheses is just description.

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.
