Can I format dates in the Campaign Name Pattern?

When auto-creating Salesforce campaigns from Eventbrite events, you can set a pattern for your campaign names. This pattern is set in Mappings. 

There are several merge fields we offer, like [EventName], [EventStart], and [EventEnd]. The dates can be formatted to meet your needs by adding java's SimpleDateFormat for year, month, and day and/or hours and minutes after a pipe inside the brackets.

Notes:

• Currently we only support dots, dashes and spaces to separate the units within dates.
• A preview of the format will display as you enter the pattern 
• To see the preview correctly when creating the pattern, enter your special merge field without the piped parameters first ([EventStart]) and then insert the pipe inside the square bracket.

[EventStart|yy-MM-DD]  would merge as 2028-01-01

[EventEnd|MMMM DD yyyy]  would merge as January 01 2028

[EventStart|yyyy-MM-DD hh:mm] would merge as 2028-01-01 11:30
