Feedonomics supports the importing and exporting of files with a dynamic datestamps in the filename. To achieve this, simply modify your import or export filename to include the special string below, which can be customized to match the particular date format in your filename.
{{feedonomics::date:Y-m-d}}
The string above would match a date in the format of '2019-01-28'. For a full list of available time and date parameters, refer to
this page . Text separators such as hyphens and periods can be inserted into the date string, as necessary.
Below are a few examples of dynamic filenames and their corresponding Feedonomics date string representations.
Example #1
filename: product_feed_01.28.2019.csv
datestring: product_feed_{{feedonomics::date:m.d.Y}}.csv
Example #2
filename: data_export_Jan-28-19.xml
datestring: product_feed_{{feedonomics::date:M-d-y}}.xml
Example #3
filename: 2019_1_28_9_AM_sku_data.csv
datestring: {{feedonomics::date:Y_n_j_g_A}}_sku_data.csv

All times in Feedonomics are in Eastern time.
Timestamp comparisons are always made with the current time as the import or export runs. For example, in order to import a file generated only once per day with a name formatted as 'product_feed_2018-01-28-05.txt'—where '05' indicates 5 AM Eastern—your import should be scheduled in Feedonomics during the 5 AM Eastern hour to ensure that the hour in the filename matches the current time in Feedonomics.
