If you are an account admin, you can change the date and time format in your ActiveCampaign account. For example, you can use a MM/DD/YYYY or a DD/MM/YYYY date format. You can also use a 12-hour time format or 24-hour time format. Changing the date and time format will update the date and time display for all users on your account.
In this article, you'll learn how to change the date and time format in your ActiveCampaign account.
Take Note
- Updates to the date and time format will reflect in the following places in your ActiveCampaign account:
- Campaign sent date and time
- Campaign last modified date and time
- Existing custom date fields and more
- Custom date fields on forms will always use a YYYY-MM-DD format regardless of how you've formatted the date and time
- If uploading contacts from a CSV, use a YYYY-MM-DD format for all date fields in your file. Once the file is uploaded, the dates will reflect your preferred format
