Hi,
I hope you guys have a solution to the following:
When I create a zap using the Microsoft Office or Microsoft Outlook app with the Create Event action (in fact, problem is the same with both) there is something I can't get fixed.

It involves the entry I get in outlook pc and web version. Initially the notification seems to come in at the right time. However when you click on the entry it always shows the UTC time. This of course works very confusing for the other persons working with the event. 

I see earlier entries at your support about this and have tried everything to solve this however without success.

  • My profile settings are on the right timezone ((GMT+02:00 Europe Amsterdam)
  • In the Zap itself the timezone is set correctly.
  • I have used the formatter to try to solve the problem.
  • I took a paid version because maybe this was the problem.
  • In the Google app the problem is not there

In everything I try I always see at data out that the Original Start/End time Zone that is used is UTC. This is in my experience nowhere to adjust. This is also where the problem is somewhere in my opinion.

Hopefully you have a solution or workaround for this problem?

 

Profile timezone:

 

 

 

Zap timezone:

 

 

Start/end date time in zap: 

 

 

Data-in Office/Outlook: 

 

 

Data-out : Office/Outlook UTC

 

 

Data-out : Start end date/time 

 

Outlook pc Overview ok, but event detail in UTC: 

 

 

Outlook web overview ok, detail also ok, but after click on edit not ok in UTC

 

 

 

 

Hi ​@Barend 

Zap action: Formatter > Date & Time > Format

This lets you adjust timestamp time zones.

Hi Troy,

Thanks. It did not solve the problem. It is the same issue as:
 

Its that the Original Time Zone Start and End is always send as UTC.


@Barend 

Why not use this Zap action to convert your input DateTime values from your time zone to UTC time zone since that is what the app seems to expect for a time zone?

Zap action: Formatter > Date & Time > Format
