Last Friday - {{ date("d.m.Y", "last friday") }}

This Thursday - {{ date("d.m.Y", "this thursday") }}

14 days ahead - {{ date("d.m.Y", "+ 14 days") }}

7 days ago - {{ date("d.m.Y", "- 7 days") }}

2 hours ahead - {{ date("d.m.Y H:i:s", "+ 2 hours") }} \ (Default timezone UTC-0)

10 days ahead from the date specified in a variable - \ {{date("d.m.Y" "{{$переменная с датой}} + 10 days")}}

The "Condition" block does not allow comparing two dates in the usual format.\ To compare dates, you need to convert them to Unix format.\ Example usage in the video below.
