Date and Calendar Functions

{{ isWeekend(trigger.date) }}

isPublicHoliday()

{{ isPublicHoliday(trigger.date, 'US') }}
{{ isPublicHoliday(trigger.date, 'DE', 'DE-BY') }}

isDayWeekInMonth()

Returns true if the date is the Nth occurrence of the given weekday in its month. position accepts FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, or LAST:

{{ isDayWeekInMonth(trigger.date, 'MONDAY', 'FIRST') }}

isLastWorkingDay()

Returns true if the date is the last working day of its month. Working days default to Monday–Friday. An optional second argument overrides which days count as working days using a comma-separated list of uppercase day names:

{{ isLastWorkingDay(trigger.date) }}
{{ isLastWorkingDay(trigger.date, 'MONDAY,TUESDAY,WEDNESDAY,THURSDAY') }}

The date argument accepts any ISO 8601 date or datetime string. Combine with isPublicHoliday() if you also need to exclude public holidays.
