TimeZone for startsAt & endsAt in GraphQL mutation

[Floyd_Wallace]

Hi, I need to schedule the startsAt and endsAt in the Graphql mutation, something like this:

mutation {
  discountAutomaticAppCreate(automaticAppDiscount: {
    title: "Quantity Discount Special Promotion",
    functionId: "some-id-number",
    startsAt: "2024-11-05T00:00:00",
    endsAt: "2024-11-07T20:59:59",
    combinesWith: {
      orderDiscounts: true,
      productDiscounts: true,
      shippingDiscounts: true
    }
  }) {
     automaticAppDiscount {
      discountId
     }
     userErrors {
      field
      message
     }
  }
}

Will the above function be active at midnight 11-05 UTC or my shop’s timezone (which is Pacific) ?

Docs are not clear.

I asked the .dev Assistant and this is what it provided:

@.dev Assistant

The startsAt and endsAt fields in the discountAutomaticAppCreate mutation are expected to be in UTC. When scheduling these fields, you should provide the date and time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

If you need to convert from the shop’s timezone to UTC, you will need to handle this conversion in your application logic before sending the mutation request.
