Hi experts,
I have 2 questions regarding upload of products with multiple dates and times.
We are using products as Event names (Origin 1) and Facilities (Origin 2). Events can be concerts, sports competitions etc. Facilities refer to booking of the facilities for recreation etc.
The first question is
1) The standard product upload template only has "VALID_TO" date that accepts only dates in the YYYYMMDD format. Is there a way I can capture the time without a custom field? This is because I understand that there are API fields available for the equivalent, "ProductValidityEndDate" which accepts timestamp however for this purpose we can only use file uploads.
2) Facilities have multiple dates and each dates can have multiple times of booking by the hour.
Currently my alternative is to concatenate the facilities with date, however it would really expand the whole product list - this is not even counting the time slots of each day. Similar to question 1, how can I put a timestamp in the product level?
Your advice will very much be appreciated!
Request clarification before answering.
There is a dedicated object and an app in Marketing Cloud for such events in general: Marketing Events. Have you evaluated usage of this for your use case? If not, I would suggest to please review the below

If there are any additional fields that you want to add, you can use the Extensibility options:
