1.Starts sub-zap with two dates
Integrate Sub-Zap by Zapier and date inputs to validate presence and normalize processing for selecting an authoritative date.
Create canonical payment date from invoice and payment
Automatically monitor two incoming date inputs across Zapier formatter and code tools. Select the later canonical date, normalize it, and return it for downstream reconciliationβso you can avoid manual date formatting, mismatches, and follow-up checks.
How this automation validates canonical payment dates
When two incoming date inputs arrive, manual reconciliation can stall on mismatches and missing values. This automation normalizes both dates and returns one validated canonical payment dateβso your team can reconcile faster without manual formatting.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
