Date add
Solution No. 137
This action takes a date/time value, adds a date or time interval to it, and stores the outcome in an Action Result that can be used in subsequent actions.
 
So where would we use it?
Useful in date/time functions, the Date Add action adds a predefined date or time interval (such as 30 days or 3 hours) to the Starting Date. The result (30 days from Start Date or 3 hours from Start Time) can be saved as an Action Result and used later.
