Plan around the right local date and time

Give scheduled reviews a timezone reference so dated work is considered against the right local day.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get current date and time

Gets the current date and time, allowing for a specific timezone offset.

Why this helps

A date interpreted in the wrong timezone can make a scheduled review misleading.

  • Anchor a scheduled review to a specified timezone.
  • Reduce confusion around local dates and times.
  • Use a consistent time reference when analyzing dated records.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ApptiveGrid and Google Calendar in the Notis portal once.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Describe in one instruction which timezone and dated records should guide the review.
  • 4Pick the recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real record near a date boundary in the chosen timezone.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create calendar events?

No. Get current date and time supplies a time reference. Use an event action if the automation should create events.

What timezone should I use?

Specify the timezone offset relevant to the planning context in your prompt.
