How API Timezone Handling Works in Dazos (CRM)

Overview: When retrieving data through the Dazos CRM API, timezone values are not based on a system-wide default. Instead, they follow the individual Calendar Settings of the user account making the API calls.

When This Matters

This is important to understand when:

  • Setting up API integrations or automations

  • Troubleshooting timezone discrepancies in API responses

  • Planning data exports or reports that rely on accurate timestamps

  • Working with multiple users who may have different timezone preferences

How It Works

Each user in Dazos CRM can configure their own timezone through their Calendar Settings. When API calls are made, the system uses the timezone of whichever user account is associated with the request.


​Key points to know:

  • User-Specific: Each user has their own timezone defined in Calendar Settings

  • API Association: The timezone used depends on which user's credentials are making the API calls

  • No System Default: There is no CRM-wide default timezone for API responses

  • Individual Control: Users manage their own timezone preferences independently


How to Configure User Timezone

  1. Log in as the user whose timezone needs to be configured

  2. Navigate to Settings β†’ CRM Settings β†’ My Preferences

  3. Click on Calendar Settings

  4. Update the timezone preference

  5. Click Save


Tips & Notes

πŸ’‘ Tip: If you need consistent timezone behavior across multiple API integrations, ensure all users involved have their Calendar Settings configured to the same timezone.

⚠️ Note: Timezone mismatches between users can cause unexpected discrepancies in API responses. Always verify timezone settings when troubleshooting timestamp-related issues.
