What if you first convert it into string in your jinka expression?

<@U065RJ879QT> Then it throws 'str object' has no attribute strftime .

huh. Well clearly the problem is that builder does not recognize your timestamp as datetime, but I have not seen this problem before. One sec, will ask the team.

Yes. it is recognising it as an integer. Please do ask the team, its becoming a bottleneck.

yes. when I use '{{ record.created_at.strftime("%Y-%m-%d") }}' , it throws 'int object' has no attribute 'strftime' .

Are you using the connector builder?
