Enter a DateStamp with the STARTING date and time of the flow

Hi everyone!
I am currently working on a flow (attached you can find a picture of it) and I would like to save various outputs with a datestamp on the file name.
I know that it is possible to insert today's date and time (HH-MM-SS) in the file name using a formula and changing the path of the file but, this would not be possible this time as the outputs are generated with some seconds of discrepancy. 

I was wondering whether is possible to insert in the file name the STARTING date and time of the workflow (the moment I click "run") that would be unique for all the outputs created.

Thank you for your help!Capture.PNG

Just insert the formula after your join tool off datetimenow() before you split the data out into different streams...
