This has not been tested and I don’t know if it will work.

Use an acf/pre_save_post filter https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-pre_save_post/

You’ll need to implement some checking to make sure you’re dealing with the right form, and you’ll also need to look in $_POST['acf'] to get the values.

Once you’re done processing the form

unset($_POST['acf']);

ACF only begins the save process based on this having a value…. I think.
