Date is after

Estimated reading: 2 minutes Updated August 1, 2026

Date is after passes when the date in the field is later than the date you type. Both sides are parsed as dates, so the comparison value can be a fixed calendar date or a moving one such as today.

When to use it

Use it for anything that starts from a point in time: bookings made after a policy change, renewals falling due beyond a notice period, submissions received once a campaign has launched, appointments scheduled further out than your standard lead time.

How to configure it

  1. Open AFI → Integrations and edit your integration.
  2. Switch on Conditional Logic.
  3. Pick the date field, choose Date is after, and type the comparison date.

Accepted date formats

Both sides are read with PHP’s date parser, which understands a wide range of inputs:

You can type Meaning
2026-12-31 An absolute date, ISO style
12/31/2026 An absolute date, US style
2026-12-31 17:00 A date and time
today Midnight this morning
now The exact moment the submission runs
now -7 days A week before the submission
last day of this month A calculated calendar date

Relative phrases are evaluated when the submission is processed, so a rolling rule keeps working without being edited.

How it behaves

The comparison includes the time of day. Date is after today means later than midnight this morning, which does include submissions made earlier today.

If either side cannot be read as a date, the rule fails and the integration does not run. Blank fields and free-text answers never match by accident.

Dates are interpreted in your WordPress site’s timezone.

Example

A booking form should send only future appointments to your calendar tool, ignoring backfilled historical records imported through the same form.

Set the rule to {{appointment_date}} Date is after now.

Notes

To build a window, meaning later than one date and earlier than another, add two rules and set the match mode to all. See Must match condition (all / any).
