Hi, I’m creating an email template to send to my customers when the deal’s arrival date is close. In my deal object, I have a property called ‘Arrival Date,’ and I want to obtain the day of the week for that date to include in the email content.

I used the code from this link, but when I replace the fixed date with deal.arrival_date, the code doesn’t display anything.

I printed the arrival_date, and it shows as a string, so I tried converting it into a date object, but nothing seems to work.

Is there a workaround for this? Is it not possible to do this in email templates?
