❓ Voiceflow Timestamp to Google Sheets via Make — How to Format Properly?
Hey everyone! I’m trying to send a readable timestamp (like YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss) from Voiceflow ➡️ Make ➡️ Google Sheets.
Right now:
The default timestamp variable in Voiceflow sends raw Unix time (seconds), which does work—but it’s not readable in Sheets.
I tried creating a custom Set Step in Voiceflow using JS Date.now() or new Date().toISOString() — but it always ends up as 0 or doesn't pass correctly through Make.
In Make, I tried using:
formatDate(now; "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss")
formatDate(parseDate(now); "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss")
But Sheets shows it literally as a formula string, not as a formatted date.
Goal: Just want a proper readable timestamp (date + time) saved to Google Sheets when user submits in Voiceflow.
Anyone got this working cleanly?
Is it best to generate the timestamp in Voiceflow, or just use Make?
Thanks in advance 🙏
