<@1145576664366055464> how can I get the current time in central time? for example, this works well - but would need one for central timezone:
{{current_time_America/Phoenix}}

Thanks for tagging me <@150741689126879232>. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.

### Answer
 

Use `{{current_time_America/Chicago}}` for Central Time. [(1) ](<https://docs.retellai.com/build/dynamic-variables>)

The format is `{{current_time_[timezone]}}` where you specify the timezone using the standard IANA timezone format. 

**Note:** Avoid using `US/Central` — stick with the standard format `America/Chicago` for reliable results. [(4) ](<https://discord.com/channels/1186424376300679209/1392620990030286958>)
