Time zones ensure that the way time is displayed in your deliverables is relevant for you and your customers.

​
Default Time Zone

Your account’s default time zone can be set in the Settings section of the dashboard.

​
Envelope Time Zone

You can override the default time zone for individual envelopes by setting the timezone parameter when creating the envelope. 
{
  "title": "Dummy Agreement",
  "label": "Dummy Agreement for Order Ref. 25005",
  "timezone": "Europe/London",
  "metadata": {
    //...
  },
  "documents": [
    //...
  ],
  "recipients": [
    //...
  ]
}

Common Time Zone Identifiers

SignatureAPI uses identifiers from the TZ Database. Here are examples of some identifiers:
Zone Name IdentifierZone Description
US/PacificWest coast of North America
US/EasternEast coast of North America
Europe/LondonUnited Kingdom
Asia/SingaporeSingapore
We recommend using zone name identifiers because they automatically handle daylight saving changes. Alternatively, you can use generic offsets such as Etc/GMT+2.
