Understand time zone names

Specify the time zones in an Outbound campaign contact list or callable times entry in Tz database notation, a public-domain set of zone names for locations around the world. This uniform naming convention is also called tzdata, zoneinfo database, or IANA Time Zone Database.

  • The process identifies each location by continent or ocean and then by the largest city in the region. For example:

America/New_York
Europe/Paris
America/Indiana/Indianapolis

  • The world separates into regions where local clocks have not changed since 1970. Each Tz name represents the local time for a locale.
