gwp_current_timestamp

You can use the {gwp_current_timestamp} merge tag to return the current time as a number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC). This is useful if you want to display the timestamp at the time of submission, or store it automatically in a field. Based on our tests, this merge tag works perfectly in both confirmation messages and as a default value in form fields.

Example:
Current Timestamp: {gwp_current_timestamp}

To store it in a field, use a Hidden field with this default value:
{gwp_current_timestamp}

The timestamp is a simple number representing the exact number of seconds that have passed since January 1, 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC. It does not display a human-readable date or time directly, but you can easily convert it later if needed.

Example:
1717754728

The timestamp is generated at the exact moment the merge tag is processed. For confirmations and notifications, this will reflect the submission time. When used in a Hidden field, the timestamp is stored with the entry at the moment the form is submitted.

Example:
{gwp_current_timestamp}

Yes. You can display {gwp_current_timestamp} in confirmation messages and notifications, and store it in a Hidden field for reporting or later reference.

Example (confirmation message):
Current Timestamp: {gwp_current_timestamp}

Example (Hidden field default value):
{gwp_current_timestamp}

The merge tag is designed to output the raw timestamp for flexibility. This format is ideal for storing time data consistently and is easy to convert to any human-readable format using external tools or code.

Example:
{gwp_current_timestamp}
