Marketo date token shows in a strange way in an email

Hello,

 

I have a Marketo Date token in my event program. If I select a date from the Calendar as "April 27, 2023", it shows as "2023-04-27" in my email. Can I make the date to show as "April 27, 2023" or at least "Apr 27, 2023" in my email?

 

Thanks,

Yavor

Velocity can change the date formats for the data stored in fields (custom/standard object fields that Markato has access to), but since you're storing the date in a custom token itself, I'd advise you to create a simple text token with the date added in the format you like to display in the email.

(also not really strange, that’s standard ISO yyyy-MM-dd format)
