@kapa.ai what is the correct format for today utc {{ (today_utc)}}
u
The
today_utc()
macro in Airbyte returns the current date in the UTC timezone. The output is a date object. Here are some examples of how you can use it: -
'{{ today_utc() }}'
will return the current date in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD'. For example, '2021-09-01'. -
'{{ today_utc().strftime('%Y/%m/%d')}}'
will return the current date in the format 'YYYY/MM/DD'. For example, '2021/09/01'. You can adjust the strftime argument to format the date in the way you need.
