I am using {{zap_meta_human_now}} to update a date field in Airtable. I have my Profile Settings to America/New York for Eastern time.
When I test the action, the date and time “12/8/2022 2:30pm” is updated in Airtable.
When the Zap runs from an actual trigger, it instead puts “12/8/2022 9:30am,” a 5 hour difference.
Any ideas why it works in the test function, but not in the live Zap?

That is peculiar. Have you checked your Zapier Run History to see if that gives any insight and double checked the field settings in Airtable?

Good question.
Check your Zap specific Timezone Settings found here: Zap Editor > right rail > Setting > Timezone field

+14I’ve had other clients experience this issue as well in Airtable.
Airtable recently made changes to how Date fields handle timezones, so that may be the root of the issue.
Check your Airtable Date field settings related to timezone.
