If the campaign scheduling interface displays a default time that is one hour ahead of your actual local time, this typically indicates a timezone configuration mismatch between your user profile, organization settings, or system environment.
What causes this
Timezone configuration mismatch: Acoustic Campaign uses timezone settings from your user profile, organization configuration, and browser environment to determine scheduling times. When these settings are misaligned, the interface may display an incorrect default time.
Daylight Saving Time transitions: If your region recently changed to or from daylight saving time and configurations haven't updated accordingly, times may appear off by one hour.
System clock or browser timezone conflict: If your computer's timezone or system clock is incorrectly configured, this can affect the time displayed in the scheduling interface.
How to fix it
Step 1: Verify your user profile timezone
Navigate to Settings > User Profile and confirm that your timezone matches your geographic location and current daylight saving time status.
Step 2: Check your organization's timezone configuration
Work with your organization administrator to confirm the default timezone is correctly configured. Organization-level settings can override individual user preferences.
Step 3: Confirm your system clock and timezone
Ensure your operating system timezone is correct and that automatic time synchronization is enabled.
Step 4: Test campaign scheduling behavior
If the default time still appears incorrect, manually set your desired send time and verify whether the campaign sends at the time you selected or at the incorrectly displayed default time. This helps determine whether the issue is visual only or affecting actual send behavior.
Still seeing the wrong time?
If the issue persists after verifying all configurations, contact Acoustic Support with the following information:
- Organization name
- Configured timezone settings (user profile and organization level)
- Screenshots showing the actual time versus the displayed time
- Confirmation of whether campaigns are sending at the selected time or the displayed default time
