✅ Solution & explanation
DateTime.fromISO($json.created_at).toFormat('dd/MM/yyyy')
Output: 08/11/2026
DateTime.fromISO() parses an ISO 8601 string into a Luxon DateTime, then toFormat() prints it with your pattern. n8n also lets you write $json.created_at.toDateTime().💡 Pro tip: Convert timezones before formatting: .setZone('Asia/Dubai').toFormat('dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm').
