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
