Update end of URL to be current date

[kwheinz (Keith)]

Is there a way to update a URL in Use Application Browser to have the current date? The URL contains a date at the end and I want this to automatically update. Thank you.

Yes, you can.

Before Use Browser Activity, put assign activity and assign to string variable this expression:

DateTime.Now.ToString(“yyyyMMdd”) (current date in your format)

Then in Browser URL you can put

“https://www.espn.com/nba/schedules/_/date/”+your_string_variable

Or just put directly:

“https://www.espn.com/nba/schedules/_/date/"+DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd”)

Remember, if you need run your workflow retroactively, maybe its good idea pass the date as argument

Cheers
