I'm trying to convert a date in the future to unix time using {{zap_meta_timestamp}}. I have tried every date format for the original date and no matter what the Unix time is convert to today’s date and now. Does the original date need to be in a specific format to convert to unix time?

You should have no problem doing this with default dropdown options, no need to use zap_meta_timestamp. See below.
