Hi Saul, some apps require date inputs to be in a certain format. To find out if you are doing it correctly, you could do a simple Google search for the app API, looking for the particular date field that you wish to update. A commonly accepted date format is the YYYY-MM-DD format which you could use our to_date formula to achieve.
For example, if you have a MM/DD/YYYY date format, you could change it by adding .to_date(format: "MM/DD/YYYY") to the back of your data, in formula mode. to_date changes date formats to YYYY-MM-DD while format: "MM/DD/YYYY" tells Workato how to read the format of your date input.
