Now

The Now step in Snappit returns the current date and time in the RFC3339 format. It is useful when workflows need to capture the exact time of execution or pass timestamps to downstream services.

✅ Use Cases​

  • Timestamping records or events
  • Scheduling delays or triggers based on current time
