Capturing event signups and timestamps

Acme's events team wants to know exactly when each attendee registered, so they can track sign-up velocity and close registration at the right time. The form captures attendee details, but you also need to record the moment of submission.

Build a workflow with a Form Trigger (Event name, Attendee name, Email) and an Edit Fields (Set) node that keeps all form fields and adds a submitted_at field using the expression {{ $now }}. Execute, submit the form, and confirm the timestamp appears in the output.
