Ensuring Claygent Accurately References Today's Date for News Research

Is there a way to ensure Claygent effectively determines todays date - I seem to struggle to get it to consistently research todays date and reference (ie. i I want a recent news story only)

When using Claygent to research recent news stories, you can ensure it references today's date by: 1. Using the Google News integration with a specific date filter. When setting up the "Find News Results" action, you can filter news results by date, selecting ranges from the past hour to the past year. 2. Alternatively, use the PredictLeads integration with the "News Found Date" parameter. You can filter for events found since a specific date or use relative dates like "20 days ago" to ensure recency. Both methods will help Claygent consistently retrieve and reference current news stories based on today's date.

use this in the api column to find today's date, it is free to use afai remember https://www.api-ninjas.com/api/worldtime then pass that to claygent to find relevant articles for the given date for date instead of the api you can also ask one claygent to first visit this page https://www.google.com/search?q=today's date then again feed that into the next claygent column to find relevant article

To ensure Claygent consistently references today's date when researching news, you have two effective options: 1. Use the PredictLeads integration with the "News Found Date" parameter. You can filter for events found since a specific date or use relative dates like "20 days ago" to ensure recency. 2. Use Google News integration with its date filter option. When setting up the "Find News Results" action, you can filter news by date ranges from the past hour to the past year. For a formula-based approach in your API column, you can use moment().format("MMMM, D YYYY") to dynamically populate today's date without dependencies on other columns. If you're implementing a custom solution with the HTTP API, you can configure the endpoint and parameters to include today's date in your request.
