Date custom field

[ValerioRossi86]

Hi there, I have a date custom field that I would like to update through the API (I am using ActiveCampaign.class.php).

This is the script I wrote in php, but I get a 500 errors when I test it: <?php

require_once("includes/ActiveCampaign.class.php");
$ac = new ActiveCampaign("MY_URL", "MY_API_KEY");

$email = $contact['email'];

/*
* ADD OR EDIT CONTACT (TO THE NEW LIST CREATED ABOVE).
*/
//$data = date("Y-m-d h:i:s");
$data = date("d-m-Y");
$contact = array(
  "email"              => $email,
  "first_name"         => "Test",
  "field[%TEST_%,0]"         => "OK",
  "field[%DATE_TEST%,0]"    => $data
);
$contact_sync = $ac->api("contact/sync", $contact);

?>

Of course MY_URL and MY_API are filled with the correct data. Does the API support date updates?

Thanks

Was this ever solved? I have a custom field which is a date field, and I can not update it utilizing contact/sync. I have tried several formats for the date but nothing works. What is the correct format to submit/update a date field?

[ValerioRossi86]

Yes, it is solved.

disappointed to see that this issue seems to have been resolved outside of Git, which makes it inaccessible to anyone else who is having a similar issue. :/

Can someone share the solution?

I'm having same issue while trying to update a contacts' custom datetime fields. i've tried a million different date formats, but nothing seems to update the field.

[reinaris]

@PPWSK & @dautry a datetime field should be in iso8601 format. So for example: "2021-08-24T09:45:00+02:00"

A date field should be formatted as 2021-08-23

@reinaris What is the expected timezone for the custom datetime fields? I could not find any documentation in AC API that speaks about the default timezone that is used for the values passed.

Good question, I have no clue! I think you have to find out by trying :)
