# Convert Date To Timestamp ?

With the help of this wildcard, an existing date can be converted to a Unix timestamp (always includes date and time). The time that is set is the time at which the wildcard is used within a node. The wildcard is used in the following way:

* {convert.date.to\_timestamp.?}
* For the following input (?) -> 2020-03-21
* The output is going to be -> 1584748800000 \[Unix timestamp]
