We are looking to build some custom fields with datetime values. When we insert them as variables into a message are they timezone aware?
The person asking me about this is creating a template and wants to insert a custom field of datetime and wants to know when the message based on the template is sent how will the datetime values show?
Thanks
Hi Tom,
Yes - the Message Template should render the datetime in a timezone-aware way, presenting the timestamp with a timezone indicator. The datetime value itself is stored as a unix timestamp, so its timezone-agnostic.
Below are some screenshots showing the same Message Template reply (including an Account datetime custom field) to the same recipient from two different timezones:
