Inserting date module in email template

SOLVE

HubSpot newb here. When creating an email template is there a built-in module or some other methodology to insert the send date of the email? "Example: Here's your Atlanta Magazine newsletter for March 8, 2018"

 

Thanks!

There is no token that you can use that inserts the date.

 

One thing you could try is a workflow to manage the email send. If you use a workflow then you can have a field with the date that triggers the email then you can use a personalization token for a date field.

It's a little hokey of an option but it is one way to accomplish that.

You could try HubL tokens to insert the publish date in a field but you couldnt' do that for the subject or the preview. Not sure if that will work but it's worth a shot to test.
