Access to CURRENT date and time
Hey, I want that my agent have access to the exact date and time for each conversation because when someone asks, ‘Where are you?’ the AI has to ask what time it is each time to provide the information.
So I tried the code that you gave us some months ago but it's not working for me.
Does someone have a solution to fix that ? (For french time btw)
Thank you!

current date and time for Paris is lundi 29 septembre 2025 à 13:30:35 UTC+2
and here is the voice-flow javascript
const now = new Date();
// Explicitly set the timeZone to Paris (France) Time.
const optionsParis = {
timeZone: 'Europe/Paris', // Paris (France) Time identifier
// DATE Options
weekday: 'long', // e.g., "lundi"
year: 'numeric',
month: 'long', // e.g., "septembre"
day: 'numeric',
// TIME Options
hour: 'numeric',
minute: 'numeric',
second: 'numeric',
// Locale and Time Zone Name
timeZoneName: 'short' // e.g., "CEST"
};
// This forces the date and time to be displayed according to the Paris Time Zone.
// Using 'fr-FR' locale for typical French formatting (e.g., "lundi 29 septembre 2025 à 13:27:12 CEST").
var dateTimeParis = now.toLocaleString('fr-FR', optionsParis);
console.log(
Current Paris (France) Date and Time: ${dateTimeParis});
Variable to create in voiceflow would be {dateTimeParis}hey thank you for your help ! But it's not working for me, maybe i'm doing something wrong?
