Date Math in V1 Email Templates

Hi @masd1 -

Use the below snippet, Its working -

#set($spToolsClass = $spTools.getClass())
#set($dateClass = $spToolsClass.forName("java.util.Date"))
#set($calendarClass = $spToolsClass.forName("java.util.Calendar"))
#set($dateObject = $dateClass.newInstance())

#set($calendarInstance = $calendarClass.getInstance())
$calendarInstance.setTime($dateObject)
$calendarInstance.add(5,-7) 

#set($formattedDate = $spTools.formatDate($calendarInstance.getTime(), "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm"))

Current Date: $dateObject
Formatted Date: $formattedDate

@baoussounda - You were close.

Please note - Here 5 is constant static value representing DATE. For more information refer the below Java doc from Oracle Java. You can use -7 to subtract 7 days from the current Date.

$calendarInstance.add(5,-7) 

Mark it as solved, If it helps.
