Time Zones for Email Notifications

Your account's time zone controls when LaunchBay sends certain notification emails. While LaunchBay automatically detects and sets your time zone when registering a new account, you can select a different time zone at any point.

This article will explain how to change the time zone set by default and provide details on what type of notification emails are affected by your LaunchBay account's time zone.

How to Edit Your Time Zone

To change the time zone LaunchBay uses to something other than the default, navigate to your account's "Settings" page and use the dropdown under "Timezone for emails" to specify a different time zone.

How Time Zones Work

LaunchBay uses two different timezone references depending on what's being displayed:

Team Timezone (set in Settings → Branding)

Controls when LaunchBay sets and calculates dates — including task due dates, meeting dates, and when automated emails are sent. This is your account's central timezone and should reflect where your team operates.

When you invite someone to a project, send them tasks, or tag them in a comment, LaunchBay will send an instant email notification. Because the instant email notifications LaunchBay sends are not affected by your account's time zone, it's helpful to note the types of email notifications that are.

• Client Reminder Emails: If you toggled on automated reminders for tasks you sent to a client, they'll receive email reminders about those tasks in the late morning of your local time zone.
• Client Digests: The digest emails clients receive summarizing new project activity over the past 24 hours will go out in the late afternoon of your local time zone.

Browser/Local Timezone

All timestamps you see in the application — such as activity feed entries, meeting times, and automation run history — are displayed in your local computer's timezone automatically. No setup required.
