Hello Ricky,

We checked your workflow and execution history (IjU3NjYwNTZmMDYzNTA0MzA1MjZiNTUzMTUxMzA1MTYxNTQzOTBmMzUi_pc).

Why the Time Differs

  • Facebook Trigger Data: The created_time received from the Facebook Lead Ads trigger is always in UTC (2026-09-22T21:48:26+0000), which is what gets added to your Google Sheet.

  • Account Display Time: The time shown in your Facebook lead form screenshot (Sep 23, 5:48 AM) displays according to your local/Meta account timezone (which appears to be UTC+8).

21:48 on Sep 22 in UTC is the exact same moment as 5:48 AM on Sep 23 in UTC+8.

How to Fix:

To save the lead time in your local timezone in Google Sheets:

  1. Add a Date/Time Formatter by Pabbly step after the Facebook Lead Ads trigger.

  2. Select Format Date with Time Zone.

  3. Pass Facebookโ€™s created_time, set From Timezone to UTC, and set To Timezone to your preferred timezone (e.g., Asia/Singapore or Asia/Kuala_Lumpur).

  4. Map the formatted date output into your Google Sheets action step.

  2. In the Choose App search field, search for and select Date/Time Formatter by Pabbly.

  3. Under Action Event, select Format Date with Time Zone and click Connect.

  4. Configure the settings:

    • Date: Map the created_time field from your Facebook Lead Ads response.

    • From Timezone: Select UTC.

    • To Timezone: Select your preferred local timezone (e.g., Asia/Singapore or Asia/Kuala_Lumpur).

  5. Click Save & Send Test Request, then map this formatted result into your Google Sheets action step.
