“in integrations is ALWAYS the user who created the recipe.”
Thank you. I missed this part.
“Unless you are writing dates to text with an integration and want it in the time zone of the recipe creator” aha, you got me. Exactly this. If I were to use the timezone of the ones triggering the automation, I’m afraid the dates will follow a variety of timezones for a distributed team - that’s not good.
I’m writing out datetime data for users to read and UTC isn’t user friendly.
Yes, that whole thing with automations running as the recipe creator is a two edged sword. With updates it can be a real nightmare because the person who did the action isn’t the creator - and often they should be. Or it should be the “app”. Instead its always the recipe creator - who may not want all of the notifications from it, forcing them to shut off update notifications and such, including ones they want.
