Convert to UTC with dynamic source time zone?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
I am using a Power Automate flow to create an MS Planner task when an MS Form is submitted.  When we bring across the Start and Due dates, it brings them across in the local timezone format, but when somebody in a different timezone opens the Planner task then it can display a different date!  For example, user in GMT enters date for 1st Dec, but user in PST then sees the data as 30th Nov.
 
I know I can use the Convert Time Zone function in PA, but that needs me to specifically selects which timezone I'm converting from, but users from all over the world will submit this form so I don't know what local timezone they will be in.
 
Is there a way to dynamically check the local timezone of the user submitting the form, and use that timezone to then convert to UTC for entering the date in the MS Planner task?

    I believe there is no direct way to automatically detect the exact timezone of a form submitter using power automate, but as a work around you can add a dropdown or choice field where the user can select the timezone(eg., PST, GMT, UTC etc.,) based upon that information you can convert to UTC
