  Schedule

Leave this field blank for immediate delivery. Your scheduled time in Unix time format.

Unix time (also known as Epoch time, Posix time, seconds since the Epoch, or UNIX Epoch time) is a system for describing a point in time. It is the number of seconds that have elapsed since the Unix epoch, minus leap seconds; the Unix epoch is 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 (an arbitrary date); leap seconds are ignored, with a leap second having the same Unix time as the second before it, and every day is treated as if it contains exactly 86400 seconds. Unix time is widely used in operating systems and file formats.

The following steps present an example of how to get Unix time from a date in a form input:

  1. In a form, create aDate/time picker control called Target Date.

  2. Add a variable that calculates the TotalSeconds between 1970/1/1 00:00:00 and your target date:

    • dateDiff("TotalSecond", date(1970,1,1,0,0,0), Form.Target Date)
      Unix time

  3. Test the form to make sure that the control is working. For example, selecting 12pm on the 9th of June 2021 should result in a Unix time of 1623240000.
