    The time zone in the backend is UTC so you need to run the conversion using the convertFromUtc() function.
     
    It works like convertFromUtc(utcNow(), 'New Zealand Standard Time')
     
    ..where utcNow() in this example is the current time but you can substitute with dynamic content in your flow. 'New Zealand Standard Time is my local time zone but you can find yours here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/default-time-zones?view=windows-11#time-zones use the Timezone column in the function.

    Optionally, specify a format at the end: e.g convertFromUtc(utcNow(), 'New Zealand Standard Time', 'dd/MM/yy HH:mm:ss')
