Is there a way to insert a merge field for NEXT month rather than [month]?

Shari Monner

I would really like to have a merge field to add to emails and pages that will output the month following the current month. I've tried a few date field editing methods and can't seem to figure it out. Even if I can only get a merge field that will give me the 1st day of the next month...that would be great and I could work with that to get the dates I need for monthly emails which require regular dates. 

Is any of this possible or do I just have to manually edit the date for these pages and emails each month?

Please to leave a comment.

For the date the email is sent plus 30 days you can use our information in Formatting Merge Fields for the nDate merge field:

[nDate Long+30]

It is not strictly "next month on the same date". For instance, today is Feb. 7th, and using that merge field results in an email with "March 9, 2017" as the date because February only has 28 days this year. There is not a way to state just the month using this merge field, so we'll keep your Feature Request open.
