<@1145576664366055464> is this dynamic variable format right: {{current_time_America/New_York}}

Thanks for tagging me <@550841198168899616>. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.

### Answer
 Yes, that format is correct. [(1) ](<https://docs.retellai.com/build/dynamic-variables>)

The syntax `{{current_time_[timezone]}}` allows you to get the current time in a specified timezone, and `{{current_time_America/New_York}}` is a valid example. , [(2) ](<https://www.retellai.com/changelog>) , [(3) ](<https://www.retellai.com/changelog/simulation-testing-now-live-for-all-agents-c27zh>)

The documentation shows this exact pattern:
- `{{current_time_[timezone]}}`: current time in specified timezone [(1) ](<https://docs.retellai.com/build/dynamic-variables>)
- Example: `{{current_time_Australia/Sydney}}`, `{{current_time_America/New_York}}` , [(2) ](<https://www.retellai.com/changelog>)
