Date Range Inputs

Sending Data / Forms

In order to use date range input in Submit Form or Send Data action, you have to add it as standalone input. Inside the Submit Form or Send Data action

add fields you want the start and end date to be applied to (Hidden Values for Submit Form, Values for Send Data), next you want to assign values to those fields. In order to do that you will need to select {Date Range Component Name} (start) and {Date Range Component Name} (end) variables from Inputs section in Local Variables.
