Respond with User timezone/locale from a webhook request

Question

When I receive a user request I would like to respond with a date with the user timezone. Actually, I can only respond with server TZ

Answer 1

Unfortunately, DialogFlow doesn’t make it easy by simply telling g you what timezone the user is coming from. The best you can do is ask the user for their timezone and then save that to do date/time adjustments in future responses.

This can be optimized a bit for users accessing your agent through Google Assistant by using the new permissions API. See https://chatbotsmagazine.com/personalize-google-assistant-skill-with-user-data-328f5e0860a0
