Question

Google Tasks to TickTick due date issue with time conversion

Not a Zapier expert but I get the basics! - Trying to do a simple tasks (using FREE ACCOUNT)

==> New Google Task triggers a New TickTick Item.

Everything works great I was able to map Title and Description (really all I need)

BUT the Due Date always defaults to Day of the task -4 hours (which is the UTC (Z) time to EST time conversion) which always results in a task on TickTick being due ==>
[DATE OF TASK + Start Midnight + Minus 4 Hours Time Conversion}
~~ which is a day before due date 8pm EST ~~

SO AS YOU CAN SEE:

JUNE 11th 7:30PM Due Date --> Becomes June 10 at 8PM

Both Configurations Screenshots PLUS test Screenshots included

ANYONE??? I tried Zapier Help and AI help and still no joy!

Hi ​@Luvz2Fly 

Try using date/time modifiers: 

 

 

Thank you Troy!  (Yeah I posted here and Reddit @  r/zapier not realizing this community existed!!!)   

 

I think the issue here is Modifiers only work for paid account(?) from what I recall when trying that solution - but more importantly Its not a set modifier I need. The ZAP as is sets Due date to a VERY specific time (Midnight UTC ===> -4 Hours = 8pmEST ) regardless of what I set in Google Tasks - The Due Date mapping captures the DATE OK but the time seems to be dropped and just uses MIDNIGHT UTC ) - It does not seem to import the time so there is not a set modifier I can use. Regardless if the time is 815am, noon, 4pm, 7:45pm - the time comes in as MIDNIGHT UTC (8pm EST).... totally stumped here!
