Input Date Time Node

warning

Node is not implemented in TellUs or WebChat. Only available in Baltics.

Collects a combined date and time input from the user.
This node allows specifying both the day and the exact time (hours and minutes), ensuring accurate scheduling or timestamp capture.

Use Case​

Use this node when the flow needs to capture both date and time details — for example:

  • Booking an appointment with an insurance agent.
  • Scheduling a vehicle inspection or repair.
  • Recording the exact date and time of an accident or incident report.
  • Capturing policy activation or cancellation time.

UI Examples​

Not implemented in Atlas

Behavior​

  • Blocking: Yes — the flow waits until valid date and time are entered.
  • Requires user input: Yes.
  • If no input is provided: A localized validation message is displayed, and the flow does not proceed.
  • Outputs variables: Yes — the combined date and time value entered by the user.
  • Validations enforced:
    • Ensures correct format according to dateTimeFormat.
    • Checks for missing or invalid values.
    • Displays localized validation messages.

Input Properties​

PropertyDescription
dateTimeFormat

Defines the expected format for displaying and parsing the combined date and time. This determines how users must enter values (for example, yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm).

  • Default Values:
      • En:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm
defaultValidationMessage

The default error message shown when the input is invalid or missing. This is used if no custom validation message is provided.

      • Fi:Päivämäärä ja kellonaika eivät kelpaa

sectionId

Groups this node visually under a specific section in TellUs. When multiple nodes share the same sectionId, they are displayed together under a shared header.

defaultValue

The initial value that is prefilled into the input field when the node is rendered. Useful for suggesting defaults or pre-populating known data.

isRequired

Determines whether the user must provide a value before continuing. If set to true, the form will not proceed without input.

  • Default Values:
      • En:true
  • Allowed Values:
      • true
      • false
isRequiredValidationMessage

The error message shown when a required field is left empty. This overrides the default validation message when isRequired is true.

  • Default Values:
      • En:Value is required
      • No:Verdi er påkrevd
      • Dk:Værdi er påkrævet
      • Fi:Arvo vaaditaan
