Hi !
I have created a GF form to send leads into Salesforce using Web2Lead.
Works absolutely fine !
I only struggle with date fields !
I need to send “date” data into Salesforce (optin given on).
The format has to be “yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm”.
How can I do this with GF ?
Can I create a custom date format ?
Thanks
Tom

Hello Tom. We have a filter that can be used to translate a value before it is send via a feed. This works for many of our add-ons. Here’s the filter:
> **[gform\_{$SHORT\_SLUG}\_field\_value - Gravity Forms Documentation](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_slug_field_value/)**
>
> This filter can be used to modify a value before it is sent to a third-party by one of the Add-on Framework based add-ons.
I do not know what method you are using to send the data to Salesforce, but maybe they have a similar filter? If you can explain how the data gets to Salesforce, we may be able to help with an alternate method, if there is no filter available. Thank you.
