Hello Airbyte friends! I am working on implementing an incremental sync for Shipbob and I am able to get the initial sync to work but the incremental syncs fail due to a mismatch in expected date formats. I get the following error on incremental runs
Additional Failure Information: time data '2023-05-22T20:36:11.6980713+00:00' does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f+00:00'
Which I totally understand, the
created_date
from my API response is coming in with 7 digits for microseconds as opposed to the expected 6 digits but I am not sure how to handle this. Thank you in advance!

Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. However, you can refer to the Airbyte documentation on [incremental syncs](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/config-based/understanding-the-yaml-file/incremental-syncs/) for more information on how to configure and handle incremental syncs. Additionally, you can join the [Airbyte community Slack Channel](https://airbyte.io/community) or participate in discussions on [Airbyte’s discourse](https://discuss.airbyte.io) to seek help from the community and the Airbyte team.

Is there a way to do something like
{{ now_utc().strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f+00:00') }}
but instead I am pointing to my cursor field from my response body which is created date. Something along the lines of
{{ created_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f+00:00') }}

Hi Dion, did you solve this problem? I'm having the same issue
