Sending date and time values to InfluxDB

I’m trying to send sunrise time to InfluxDB / Grafana. My sensor value is '‘2020-09-01T13:37:37+00:00’ but InfluxDB is not recognizing this as a date and time stamp.

InfluxDB sees this as “202009011337370000” in the _value field. How do I get InfluxDB to recognize this as a date and time stamp ?

InfluxDB / Grafana newbie !

thanks!
