Just wanted to share a quick way to calculate a future date: “today’s date” (the date the email is being sent) + X days (1, 3,7,14,30,60,90,120 days):
{% assign today = "now" | date: "%s" %}
{% assign future_date = today | plus: 2592000 | date: "%s" %}
{{ future_date | date: "%B %-d, %Y" }}
Change the number after “plus:” to change the days (the value is in seconds):
- 1 day: 86400
- 3 days: 259200
- 7 days: 604800
- 14 days: 1209600
- 30 days: 2592000
- 60 days: 5184000
- 90 days: 7776000
- 120 days: 10368000
For example, the email would look like this:
Dear {{customer.given_name}},
We hope this message finds you well. Our records indicate that your [Company Name] account ({{customer.email}}) has been inactive for some time. We value your participation in our community and would like to remind you of the upcoming deactivation of your account.
Deactivation Date: {% assign today = "now" | date: "%s" %} {% assign thirty_days_later = today | plus: 2592000 | date: "%s" %}{{ thirty_days_later | date: "%B %-d, %Y" }}
Result would look like this:
Deactivation Date: February 13, 2024
Hope this helps!
