Calendar merge variables allow access to the date/datetime of the selected area—which can be an empty time slot or an existing event:

• startDateTime and endDateTime : Return the values for the selected area’s start datetime or end datetime, respectively.

  For example, on an event space that represents 5/4/2021 10:00 am to 5/4/2021 10:30 am Eastern Standard Time, the merge variable template {{startDateTime}} - {{endDateTime}} would do the following:

  • Display 5/4/2021 10:00 am - 5/7/2021 10:30 am at runtime
  • Set a field value to 2021-05-04T14:30:00.000Z - 2021-05-07T15:00:00.000Z

  These merge variables can be used in:

  • On-click actions
  • Create event actions
  • Event update actions

• startDate and endDate : Return the values for the selected area’s start date or end date, respectively.

  For example, on an event space that represents 5/4/2021 10:00 am to 5/7/2021 10:30 am Eastern Standard Time, the merge variable template {{startDate}} - {{endDate}} would do the following:

  • Display 5/4/2021 - 5/7/2021 at runtime
  • Set a field value to 2021-05-04 - 2021-05-07

  These merge variables can be used in Create event actions.

• allDay: Returns true if the selected area/event takes up the full day.

  • On-click actions
