Since EST / EDT is -05 hours in UTC you can use Add to datetime -action to add 5 hours to the EST / EDT time so that its the same as UTC

You could use .NET script with C#.

The Eastern Standard Time time zone ID in C# handles both Eastern Standard Time (EST) and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) automatically, based on the date provided.

Or if you want too keep it no-code then have some conditions that checks if its during daylight savings date and use either -5 or -4.

Have the time you want to convert in %EasternTime% variable and copy paste this to your PAD:
Scripting.RunDotNetScript Language: System.DotNetActionLanguageType.CSharp Script: $'''DateTime easternTime = InputVariable; TimeZoneInfo easternZone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById(\"Eastern Standard Time\"); DateTime utcTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc(easternTime, easternZone); //result OutputVariable = utcTime; ''' @'name:InputVariable': EasternTime @'type:InputVariable': $'''Datetime''' @'direction:InputVariable': $'''In''' @'name:OutputVariable': $'''''' @'type:OutputVariable': $'''Datetime''' @'direction:OutputVariable': $'''Out''' @OutputVariable=> UTCnow
