how to get client timezone
my app is sending email action (convex action + react email), I've rendered a date time using
date.now() on the email body and when the email is sent to the client, they got the server date time, how do i compensate this ? I'm guessing that I'll need to get the request's time zone, but how ?4 Replies

Thank you!
Just send the date from the client, add it to the form data.
A lot of my convex functions have an arg for timezone. Eventually going to set up a custom useQuery/Mutation/Action hooks and custom functions so every convex function gets the user's timezone on the ctx.
