Hello all, hope everyone is fine.


We are facing a very weird issue related to date and time.


Let me explain,

We created a bot with some conditions of Date and Time, but it was not responding as it should be.


Then I suddenly ask the bot "What is Today's date?"

and shockingly it replied 12February2024,

I asked about time and it told the wrong time.


After some time, I again asked that date and it responded some date of 2023, and same wrong time.


I checked thoroughly and came to know that it sometimes follow some other timezone (as it gave a fixed some hour behind the acta time) but sometimes it's giving some random time.

And same with the date.


Anyone experienced this?

Hello

I've been reporting this for a while now, and no one has responded to any of my threads. https://botsailor.com/forum/thread/1930-time-zone-error


The bot also doesn't clearly indicate when it's working or not. It always runs for at least 4 hours, saying it's not working, and when it is... causing confusion for customers.

Exactly. And it leaves a very bad impact on customers.

I have been in contact with whatsapp support for very long but there is still no solution. Instead, they are suggesting strange things, like, they suggest to ask date and time from customer 🤷‍♂️

I don't know where is professionalism.


I have opened a ticket but still no response!

Same here i also notice that if i call api for calendly, it fetach the data with Zulu time zone i.e. UTC, Even i clarl;y call api with IST that is indian time zone, I dont understand, are we part of your experiment and we paying for your experiment, evey day clients are shouting on us due to lots of errors, Now i am afraid to onboard new clients.
