Local Time Retrieval Workflow
This workflow is manually triggered to retrieve and output the local time of a specified time zone in real-time, accurate to the millisecond, in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.SSS Z". It utilizes the moment.js library for time zone conversion, ensuring the accuracy of time data and addressing the issues of time retrieval and formatting in cross-time-zone environments. It is suitable for automated processes that require accurate timestamps, system log annotations, task scheduling, and data synchronization, thereby enhancing the reliability of time management.

Local Time Retrieval Workflow
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow is manually triggered to fetch and output the local time of a specified timezone in real-time, accurate to the millisecond. The time format used is “YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.SSS Z”. It leverages the moment.js library for timezone conversion, ensuring the time data is precise and reliable.
Core Problem Addressed
Accurately obtaining and formatting local time across single or multiple timezones is a common requirement. This workflow resolves the challenge of unified time retrieval and formatting in diverse environments, preventing errors in time calculation and inconsistencies in formatting.
Use Cases
- Scenarios requiring insertion of accurate timestamps within automated processes
- Cross-timezone system log time tagging
- Time recording during task scheduling and event triggering
- Time validation during data synchronization
Main Workflow Steps
- Manual Trigger Execution: The workflow is initiated by user click.
- Local Time Retrieval: A JavaScript function executes, calling moment.js to get the current timezone time as configured in the environment.
- Formatted Output: The time is decomposed into year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond, then output as a standardized formatted string.
Involved Systems or Services
- n8n automation platform (including Manual Trigger and Function nodes)
- moment.js time handling library (embedded within the Function node)
Target Users and Value
Ideal for automation practitioners, developers, operations engineers, and data analysts who require precise time control and recording. It helps them easily obtain standardized local time data, providing essential support for subsequent time management and data accuracy in workflows.
Calendly Appointment Event Trigger

This enhances the efficiency and accuracy of monitoring management, making it particularly suitable for website operations and IT operations teams.
Onfleet Driver Signup Message in Slack
This workflow is designed to automate the handling of new driver registration notifications on the Onfleet platform. When a new driver registers, the system immediately sends a message to a designated Slack channel, ensuring that the team is promptly informed of the driver's onboarding status. This instant notification mechanism significantly enhances communication efficiency, helping the management team respond quickly and optimize scheduling and management processes, making it suitable for industries such as logistics, delivery, and transportation.
Namesilo Bulk Domain Availability [Template]
This workflow automates the bulk detection of the availability of multiple domain names by calling the API of a domain registration platform. It supports querying up to 200 domain names at a time and outputs a detection report in Excel format. The built-in automatic waiting mechanism effectively prevents exceeding API call limits, ensuring a stable and efficient querying process. This tool is suitable for domain registrars, investors, and marketing teams, significantly saving time and improving work efficiency, while addressing the cumbersome issues of manual operations.
Daylight Saving Time Notification
This workflow is designed to automatically monitor and notify about upcoming changes to Daylight Saving Time, ensuring that cross-timezone teams can timely adjust their meeting schedules. It supports sending reminders via both Slack and email, reducing communication errors caused by time changes. Users can flexibly configure the monitored time zones, and the system will automatically determine and send reminders, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of remote collaboration while minimizing the risk of human oversight.
Meraki Network Link Quality Monitoring and Alert Automation Workflow
