I want to book an appointment but how will i manage the timezone if caller is from diff timezone and booking system is booking on the diff timezone how can i manage this

# Managing Timezone Differences in Vapi Booking To handle timezone differences between callers and your booking system, implement this approach: 1. Capture the caller's timezone by prompting them or using a third-party service that determines timezone from phone numbers 2. Convert times using UTC as the standard format:

// Example of including timezone in system prompt
{{ "now" | date: "%b %d, %Y, %I:%M %p", "America/New_York" }}

3. Always confirm appointments in the caller's local timezone before finalizing According to [Discord discussions](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1275993578950103141), store appointment times in UTC but display them in the user's local timezone.

Detect the caller’s timezone by phone number or asking, convert available slots to their local time, store bookings in UTC, and always display times clearly with timezone labels.
