Hi @yuriaberfeld 

Where are you getting stuck?

the text message itself.

it sends the time in an inaccurate time zone. 

even though i specified PST, it sends it in a different time zone

Check this help article for using a Formatter (Date & Time) step to adjust the time zone settings for a timestamp: https://zapier.com/help/create/format/modify-date-formats-in-zaps

that gets me closer but it is not fully working, I think

I need to format it in a way that it will show a calendar event , such as

12/20 at 6:00pm - 6:30pm for instance

You’d need to format both the start/End timestamps separately then concatenate them into the format you want.

Formatted Date: MM/DD (12/20)

Formatted Time 1: H:mmA (6:00pm)

Formatted Time 2: H:mmA (6:30pm)

Then you can put together in the output as: [Formatted Date] at [Formatted Time 1] - [Formatted Time 2]
