I am on the USA east coast and setting up scheduled notifications for an event happeing in August on the USA west coast. My wordpress site is already in west coast time, but the webpushr panel is seeing me as east coast time since that my physcial location
How can I properly schedule manual web push notifications and still hit the time zone properly as they are time sensitive and used for our users to be sent reminders while at a tradeshow.
Should I setup my advanced scheduled notications with a 3 hour offset? so I know that the users on west coast at the event will get them on the right time? or is there another way to tell the Webpushr website admin panel to make my timezone west coast?
Hi,
Thanks for reaching out!
If you’re planning to schedule a post from WordPress, and your WordPress site is already set to West Coast time, then you’re all set — the push notification (triggered by the post) will follow that time zone automatically. No need to adjust anything further.
However, if you’re planning to schedule a manual push notification directly from the Webpushr dashboard, the scheduling will follow your local system time (in this case, East Coast time). In that case, yes — applying a 3-hour offset would be the right way to ensure your West Coast users receive the notification at the correct local time.
Let us know if you need help setting this up!
Best regards,
Webpushr Team
