Scheduling Action Flow for a specific time in a specific timezone

All Action Flows scheduling uses the UTC+00 timezone as default. This timezone is not affected by daylight saving time (DST). If you wish to schedule your automation to a different time zone, for instance, one that follows DST, you can do it by using the Set variable tool in your Action Flow.

  1. Go to Studio, and select your package.

  2. Click Action Flow for which you want to set scheduling.

  3. Click Edit.

  4. At the beginning of your automation, add a new module called Set variable.

    3. Use the now variable in the format date and set your desired format date and time zone.
