Detect and handle a Button Press

You can use the Interaction [Event] to detect a Button Press using the Custom ID. Also to get the Current Time and Date you use the Create Date Block and using the Format Date Block you can get the Date in a Text Type.
To now send a message back to the User that used the Button, you can use the Send Message/Interaction (Multi) Block.

Getting to the Edit Button

Now you have multiple ways how and when to edit the button, the simplest is to take the Interaction Event Block and then use Get Message Buttons Block to get the Buttons from the Message and then use the Edit Button Row Block to edit the Button of the Message. At the end use the Interaction Update Block to update the Interaction with the New Button and a New Text/Embed. Edit Button
