Fill in a variable date with a flow

If an opt-in is given in a Marketo form, we want to fill the "email agreement date" with a flow. I now set one date that will be filled for all leads (they will all have the same email agreement date). However, if the email agreement is filled, I want it to be filled with the date of creation (= the date when the form was filled). Is this possible and how can I do this?

Hi Cindy,

Yes you can do this. There is a system token called system.date.

So you can use "filled out form" as the trigger, change data value as the flow step, and populate the date with system.date.

You should use a constraint as well - "if email agreement date is empty".
