Hello @YEEDEN

You could do something like this:

1) Get the current date with no time (0h)

2) Convert that date to Malaysia time zone.

3) Add to that date a specified number of hours (I added 17.5) in the example.

4) Do the delay until with that specified date and time.

Hope it helps!

Hello @YEEDEN

You're right! You don't need the action, since it can be done calling the ConvertTimeZone function.

In the sample I showed before, I forgot to add the format of the output of the Convert Time Zone action, which should be: 'yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ'

Hope it helps!

I have used delay until using 30 May 2024 at 15:00 (using 24 hour) even though it is converted to Western Indonesia Time (+07:00), but the message is sent at 22:00. Do you know the reason?
This is my evidence:
