Hello everyone
I faced a problem with variable on Email templates. When trigger text with ${action.triggerTime} sent to Email address, I see only UTC time, but for my notify's need to GMT+3. Im tried anything, but it not successed. 
Maybee someone knows how to use this variable with non-UTC time?

Hi Ilya

You can use the following, as AppD uses Apache Velocity, below is an example of GMT+2 where we use eventtime, but you can use it for any datetime in AppD. Please adjust the +2, to +3 for your use timezone and the Date Variable.

#set ($date = ${latestEvent.eventTime})#set ($newDate = ${date.getHours()}+(2))$date.setHours(${newDate})#set( $String = ' ' ) $String.format('%1$tY-%1$tm-%1$tdT%1$tH:%1$tM:%1$tSZ', ${date})

Hi Mohit

Here you go:)

#set ($date = ${latestEvent.eventTime})

#set ($newDate = ${date.getHours()}+(5))$date.setHours(${newDate})
#set ($newDate = ${date.getMinutes()}+(30))$date.setMinutes(${newDate})
#set( $String = ' ' ) $String.format('%1$tY-%1$tm-%1$tdT%1$tH:%1$tM:%1$tSZ', ${date})

Ciao
