Possible to change timezone in AEP?

[arpan-garg]

Is it possible to see the timezone of the events you see in AEP? I have inserted an event with timestamp "2023-06-21T06:19:47.000Z" using the streaming API and when i see that event in the platform UI. I see time as 8:19 instead of 6:19.

Hi @arpan-garg ,

You could use place context data type which describes the location information of the event. more details here:-

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/xdm/data-types/place-context.html?lang=e... 

For instance, you can add this datatype into your request load when you invoke the API

"placeContext": {
                "localTime": "2023-03-22T21:01:21.193-06:00",
                "localTimezoneOffset": 360
            },

Hope that helps!

Regards,
