The date time now tool allows us to insert the current date and time into our workflow. Let's start a new workflow by clicking on the Insert tab and dragging in a date time now tool into our workflow. In the configuration menu on the left we have the option of selecting one of the many date and time formats. Note that these values are stored as a string and not an actual datatype. However, this can easily be converted back to a date type, which we'll discuss in video 2.2. Press the run workflow button or Ctrl r on your keyboard and we now have the current date and time inserted into our workflow.
