I have a thing that has StartDate and EndDate. These two fields are type “Date”. I need to know how can I update these dates on a new record.

I guess I didn’t explain myself. I have a an API that returns a text value. When I am trying to update the thing, using the Action Make Changes to a thing" it doesn’t take the date, in fact, it shows as an error.

Best course of action would be to reset the API call to give you a date format instead of the string. That way you avoid possible errors of techniques such as regex or split by.

How can I force the API to return a date. this is the return JSON: {
“body”: {
“job_title”: “Director Transformation”,
“company”: “VMware”,
“city”: “Atlanta”,
“state”: “GA”,
“start_date”: “05/2022”
}
