Timezone Converter

Converts a date and time from one time zone to another, with daylight saving time.

Timezone Converter takes a date and time as it reads on the clock in one time zone and gives you the same moment on the clock in another time zone. Daylight saving time is applied for both zones on that date. Use it to show a UTC time to users in their local time, or to turn a local appointment time into UTC before you store it.

Add the action

In the Process Designer toolbox, open Community-Made and pick Timezone Converter (or type Timezone Converter in the search box).

The Timezone Converter action properties: Datetime, From, To and Converted Datetime

Inputs and outputs

Field	Direction	Type	Required	What to put / what you get
Datetime	Input	Date and time	Yes	The clock time to convert, without an offset, for example `2026-01-15T09:00:00`.
From	Input	Option list	Yes	The time zone that clock time is in, for example (UTC+02:00) Eastern European Time (Bucharest) or (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time.
To	Input	Option list	Yes	The time zone you want the clock time in.
Converted Datetime	Output	Date and time	Yes	The same moment, as the clock reads in To.

The time zone names show the standard (winter) offset. The real offset on your date, summer time included, is applied automatically.

Example

Datetime	From	To	Converted Datetime
`2026-01-15T09:00:00`	Bucharest	New York	`2026-01-15T02:00:00`
`2026-07-15T09:00:00`	Bucharest	UTC	`2026-07-15T06:00:00Z` (summer time, UTC+3)
`2026-11-10T22:00:00`	UTC	Kolkata	`2026-11-11T03:30:00`

Good to know

Give Datetime without an offset and without Z. The From zone decides how it is read:

2026-11-10T22:00:00Z from Bucharest to UTC gives 20:00Z: the Z is ignored and 22:00 is read as Bucharest time.
2026-11-10T22:00:00+02:00 from Bucharest to UTC gives 18:00Z: the value is first moved to UTC (20:00), and then read again as Bucharest time.

If your value comes from UTC Now, choose UTC in From.

When To is UTC, the result ends in Z. For other zones the result has no offset.
A clock time that does not exist in From, because the clocks jump forward for summer time (for example 2026-03-29T03:30:00 in Bucharest), stops the step with The supplied DateTime represents an invalid time.
An empty Datetime stops the step with Input Error: Please provide a non-empty DateTime !.
