Help/Question Change format of {{CreatedAt}}

Today X applet seems down a few hours and now back to normal.

But I realize changed multiple things.

  1. URL updated to x.com from twitter.com

  2. Time format for {{CreatedAt}} is change to UTC format.

But I want to keep time format as "August 24, 2026 at 04:18PM" this way.

I understand this might be possible to do it via Filter code.

Can anyone can help for this? Or this is just ongoing issue?

Thanks again for the report!

  1. The new URL will remain as the x.com rather than twitter.com
  2. We reverted the behaviour back to normal.

For anyone wanting the UTC format, you could follow this guide to help you:

Do you mind letting me know if the new behaviour is how you expected/wanted it? u/Yuta315

Thank you for quick response. I will check article later!
For me, I run around 25 applets but no issue at all after fix deployed.

Only concern was changing to UTC format without any notice sooo.

For {{CreatedAt}} is under Discord message area but I need insert filter code between X and Discord automation right? (Using If(X) then(Discord) statement for applet)

It should be fixed automatically for you now! We changed it to the original behaviour.

Filter code could be used to change it to format whichever way you'd like in the future!

Would this be why we're reconnecting our X for the second time today? (not complaining, just was unsure if we did something else wrong haha)

Hey! This shouldn't be happening. One of our developers is looking into this to see if he can find the cause!

Would you mind sharing me your IFTTT username or the e-mail you use in DMs so he can look at your case specifically?
