Posted on by Cchurchoptimum

I want to create a variable where the current month is within the subject line of an email I send on a recurring monthly basis. However, I'm not sure how that is supposed to work.

Can anyone assist with this?

Make an init variable and set it to string.

Then write an expression.

Then just include the variable as a dynamic content in the subject

This might help you regarding what kind of expression to write:

You just need to format a datetime to get the month name.

To get the current month would be:

utcNow('MMMM')

To get the month name from another date source would be:

formatDateTime({yoursource},'MMMM')

You can see how to get the month name from this post:

Here is a variable with the current month's name. Then put that variable in the Subject line.

Let me know if this works for you.
