Hi all, first post. Not sure I am posting this in the right spot either, so please excuse if I was wrong.  
I am fairly new with developing HubSpot and I’ve just started to get into using custom code actions and so, not 100% sure how they work.  
I’ve made a workflow that is designed to either set due dates or pipeline status of ticket based upon how the ticket was created. there is an if/then branch on the “due date” property being known, so if it was created _with_ a due date known then I can use regular old “set property” based on what the due date is to set the pipeline status.  
However, if it is not known, this where things get a little more complex. I want to create actions that say (if pipeline status is “January” then set the “start\_date” to {{ currentYear }}-01-01 and “due\_date” to {{ currentYear }}-01-31) and so on for every month. I also want there to be a condition for if the month has passed, then change the {{ currentYear }} to {{ nextYear }}.  
I’ve start something and I don’t get any syntax erros while writing the code, but it does throw errors when running the code. Here is the code:

```lia-code-sample

```

Here is the error that it throws:

`2023-03-08T16:54:28.275Z	ERROR	Invoke Error {"errorType":"TypeError","errorMessage":"customerPayload.main is not a function","stack":["TypeError: customerPayload.main is not a function"," at Runtime.exports.hubspot_handler [as handler] (/var/task/hubspotHandler.js:6:21)"," at Runtime.handleOnceNonStreaming (file:///var/runtime/index.mjs:1085:29)"]}`

Am I way off base here? Any help?
