How do I change the format of the merge tag {!TODAY()} so it displays as Month DD, YYYY instead of dd/mm/yyyyy?

Question

Just as the title states - when I use merge tag {!TODAY()} into email templates the format output is dd/mm/yyyy.

This creates confusion when dealing with international and well anyone as to whether the month or day first.

I would like to the formated output to be ex. April 12, 2019

How can I do this?

Thanks!

Hi Laura,

You can use this :

{!CASE( MONTH( TODAY() ), 1, "January", 2, "February", 3, "March", 4, "April", 5, "May", 6, "June", 7, "July", 8, "August", 9, "September", 10, "October", 11, "November", "December" ) } {!DAY(TODAY())} , {!YEAR( TODAY() )}

Thanks
