UTCNOW()

Returns the current date and time (DateTime value) in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Sample usage

(NOW() - UTCNOW()) returns a Duration value giving the difference between UTC and local time.

Syntax

UTCNOW()

Notes

For client-side interactions, the accuracy of the UTC time returned depends on the accuracy of the system time and timezone offset of the user's device (which can be modified by the user). To capture UTC timestamps that can't be modified by user-controlled settings, use a server-side interaction, such as an automation.
