When creating an event, it puts the time in the email sent to notify the participants of the event in UTC, is there a way to have that show in the clients timezone?
Hi jonathan,
We convert all timestamps in our platform to UTC so that they are all uniform. You can do the conversion to other timezones using any number of libraries. If you need to know the timezone of a particular calendar, we expose the connected calendar’s time zone in the Nylas /calendars endpoint.
@Lou Thanks for the response. The issue is we have a participant in eastern time zone and one in pacific. So we need the time in the emailt title to have the correct time for the timezone. Is there away to specifiy the timezone for each participant in the payload for the nodejs sdk? If there is would that fix the issue or is an issue on nylas side of just sending utc to the participants?
@Lou any update on this?
I assume you are talking about the scheduler event invite email. As an example, here is one that is designated in London time from a PST timezone:
The time will reflect the timezone specified at the time of event creation (London timezone), but for each participant, it will auto-translate that time into the participant’s timezone as you can see in the top section where it is listing the time in PST.
Is that what you are seeing? Given that it is a singular event, the time in the title is based on that event organizer’s timezone. There is no auto-translation to each participant.
