Date format?

  • Simple question: I’ve enabled the user registration date, which is called visitorRegistrationDate in the data layer.

    The value of visitorRegistrationDate is a string that looks like 1512130332 or 1526601600 (for example).

    This value doesn’t look like a normal date/time format. What is the best way to view or convert this value to a recognizable date?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    This is a Unix timestamp that has wider opportunities of application.
    In order to convert this into a more readable text, you can create a data layer variable to read the content, let’s say you name this GTM variable as {{Visitor Registration Date}}

    Now you need to create a custom JS variable with this code:

    function() {
    return new Date( {{Visitor Registration Date}} * 1000 );
    }

    function() {
return new Date( {{Visitor Registration Date}} * 1000 );
}

    Not working function. object javascript variable empty
