so I'm confused as to how to take the auto-populated string "01/18/2021@19:00 (CST)" into a valid Date/Time format.

I know that I should be using Date formula but am unable to program this correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Extra Homework:

Once this is done, I'd like google sheets to compare that time to real time and send me an email notifying me that the time is within 15 minutes of the noted time.
