How to use today's date in the Body of a Web Activity Patch REST Call

HI!! @Nasreen Akter @MartinJaffer-MSFT @HimanshuSinha-msft

I have the following excerpt from a Body in a Web Activity in my ADF Pipeline. The Requirements call for the following:
"LastModifiedTimestamp": "2021-02-09T16:52:21.284Z" to be todays date. How can I express that in the Body of my Web Activity PATCH call so that "LastModifiedTimestamp": today's datetime whenever the pipeline runs.

    "ElectronicAddress": "",  
    "Extension": "string",  
    "EffectiveStart": "2021-02-09T16:52:21.284Z",  
    "EffectiveEnd": "2022-02-09T16:52:21.284Z",  
    "ContactInformationType": {  
      "ContactInformationTypeGroup": {  
        "XRefCode": "PHONE",  
        "ShortName": "string",  
        "LongName": "string",  
        "LastModifiedTimestamp": "2021-02-09T16:52:21.284Z"  
      },  
      "XRefCode": "@{variables('IfHomePhone')}",  
      "ShortName": "string",  
      "LongName": "string",  
      "LastModifiedTimestamp": "2021-02-09T16:52:21.284Z"  
    },

Thanks!!

Hi @Mike Kiser ,

Please check @pipeline().TriggerTime from the following link:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/control-flow-system-variables

"@{pipeline().TriggerTime}"

TriggerTime would be in UTC

Hope this helps! :)
