All dates and times are stored in the Cordial database in UTC time. When dates and times are displayed in the UI they are converted to the time zone that was set up for the account.
Depending on where dates and times are viewed (in the UI or via the API), they will be displayed as follows:
Display | Time Zone | Format | Example |
---|---|---|---|
Viewed in UI (custom events, message events, audience rules, etc.) | Account Time Zone | Textual month, day, year and time | Nov 16, 2017 4:12 pm |
Viewed in API | UTC | ISO Standard | 2017-11-17T00:12:49+0000 |
Note:
- When exporting data from the UI, times will be displayed in the UTC time zone.
- When using the Smarty Now variable {$smarty.now} in a message, time will be displayed in UTC time in UNIX format.
What is my account's time zone?
The account's time zone is set up by a Client Success Manager when the account is configured. To see which time zone your account is set for, contact your Client Success Manager or use the account variable: {$account.timezone} to render the time zone in a message.
