Use Case : (UTC with ) We created a flow where we had used UTC now functionality but this was returning the value time value with -5.30 hours. After doing RND I come to know that it automatically adjust the time using our time zone.

It takes below parameter Sr No Parameters Example Explanation 1. <timestamp>     Utcnow() It is a string or function which contains the timestamp 2. <sourceTimeZone>       UTC The name for source time zone . We can write source time zone which we want to convert into 3. <destinationTimeZone>       India Standard Time The name for the target/destination time zone. In this case we want to convert UTC into India Standard Time. So the India Standard Time is a destination TimeZone   4. <format>     dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm   Its a format  in this case we wanted to convert into date and time dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm As you can see in the below screen i have converted UTC to India time zone. convertTimeZone(utcnow(),’UTC’,’India Standard Time’,’dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm’) Result: As you can see in the below screen shot it shows the date time in the mentioned format or you can say indian format.
