Hi,
I have a flow that should run at 9:00 am when there is an upcoming meeting. Only, it doesn't unless it's set to 13:00 pm. When I set the time to 9:00 am it runs at like 5:00 am.
If I live in the U.S what should the time zone be set to? And do I need the Z in the start time field?
Solved! Go to Solution.
You've got two conflicting things going on here. The 10:00PM you entered is recorded in UTC, which is 4 hours off Eastern time. But you specify in the dropdown that you are in Pacific time which is 7 hours off UTC. So instead of running at 10 in Eastern time it is delayed until 1 am which is 10 in Pacific time. Set the time zone to Eastern in the dropdown and it should run when you expect it to.
For a recurrence flow the time is always based on UTC. So if you are in the US Eastern time zone then you should set the time 4 hours later than the Eastern time that you want it to trigger. Eastern time is currently UTC-4 due to Daylight savings. 9:00 AM in the UK is 5:00 AM on the US east coast. That's what the 'Z' in the time field means. It denotes it as UTC.
Thank you @Pstork1!
So I ran the below flow last night at 10 but the email sent at 1:00 am. Is there an explanation for this?
