Add this code step between Typeform and Notion to format registration dates and handle missing company information. Paste this as a new Node.js code step after your Typeform trigger.

export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Format the submission date for Notion

export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Format the submission date for Notion
    const submissionDate = new Date(steps.trigger.event.submitted_at);
    const formattedDate = submissionDate.toISOString().split('T')[0];
    
    // Handle missing company field
    const company = steps.trigger.event.answers.company || 'Individual';
    
    // Clean up dietary restrictions
    let dietary = steps.trigger.event.answers.dietary_restrictions;
    if (dietary && dietary.includes('other')) {
      dietary = steps.trigger.event.answers.dietary_other || 'See notes';
    }
    
    // Format session preferences as comma-separated string
    const sessions = Array.isArray(steps.trigger.event.answers.sessions) 
      ? steps.trigger.event.answers.sessions.join(', ')
      : steps.trigger.event.answers.sessions || 'None selected';
    
    // Return formatted data for Notion
    return {
      attendee_name: steps.trigger.event.answers.name,
      email: steps.trigger.event.answers.email,
      company: company,
      dietary_restrictions: dietary || 'None',
      tshirt_size: steps.trigger.event.answers.tshirt_size,
      session_preferences: sessions,
      registration_date: formattedDate,
      check_in_status: 'Not Checked In'
    };
  }
});
