I’m using the API and I’m trying to make sense of your timezone offset feature. I have “employees” that are remote in a few different timezones and clients in many different timezones. How could I use your API to determine the offset between an employee that is time zone X and a client in timezone Y where X and Y are completely dependent on the location of each party. The employees location is known and fixed, can I set a location for employees? The user I can use an IP scanner or I can have them set their location preferences in my web app. Then I’ll just use the employee and user IP to come up with a time offset for the booking method.
In short, what I need to know is, is it possible to add location data to each employee and how can I then access that data from the API to then calculate my timezone offset?
Anastasia from the live chat told me to click register on this support page. It seems my name is on the assignee list for some reason. Hope I didn’t click on something I wasn’t supposed to.
I thought adding locations to employees/units would allow them to have different timezone offsets so they could view their calendars in their own timezone. This doesn’t seem to be the case (If I’m wrong please let me know if employees can see their calendar in their own location timezone). So, I did not actually solve this. (See me other question with the same title)
Again, you can probably close this. I’m saddened that you never responded to it in two months though. I’ll just have to build my own service provider (junior employee) calendar and availability functionality on my end using your provider/unit API if I am to continue to use your API.
