# Timestamp Format

> Customize date and time format displayed in deliverables for Power Automate flows

In addition to time zones, you can customize the timestamps in the deliverables sent to your customers.

### Default Timestamp Format

To set a new default timestamp format for your account:

1. Go to [dashboard settings](https://dashboard.signatureapi.com/settings/general).
2. Navigate to the **Timestamp Format** section.

### Envelope Timestamp Format

To set a specific timestamp format for an individual envelope, use the `timestamp_format` parameter when creating the envelope:

## Building a Timestamp Format

Use these tokens to build timestamp formats:

| **Token** | **Description**      |
| --------- | -------------------- |
| YYYY      | Year                 |
| MM        | Month                |
| DD        | Day                  |
| HH        | Hour (24-hour clock) |
| hh        | Hour (12-hour clock) |
| mm        | Minutes              |
| ss        | Seconds              |

You can use these separators:

* **Date separators**: `/` (slash), `-` (dash), `.` (period), `(space)`
* **Time separators**: `:` (colon), `.` (period)

For example, to build the commonly used US date format, you would use the following tokens and separators:

`MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss`

This will appear in the audit logs as `12/31/2025 11:59:59 PM`.

## Examples of Timestamp Formats

Here are common timestamp formats used in different regions:

| **Timestamp format**  | **Example**            | **Common Usage**                                    |
| --------------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss` | 12/31/2025 11:59:59 PM | Primarily in the United States                      |
| `DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss` | 31/12/2025 23:59:59    | Europe, Australia, parts of Asia and Africa         |
| `YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss` | 2025-12-31 23:59:59    | ISO 8601 international standard                     |
| `DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss` | 31/12/2025 11:59:59 PM | Informal usage globally                             |
| `DD.MM.YYYY HH:mm.ss` | 31.12.2025 23:59.59    | Commonly in Germanic and Eastern European countries |
