I get:

```
error occurs at 2015-10-19T04:30:00.000Z

```

But our time zone is `GMT+8`, So it should be `2015-10-19T12:30:00.000Z`. Is there a way do it in Email Action?

Hey there,

you can use the the joda date time formatters to do this. This is just a quick test and it worked, I think you can do this more efficiently.

```json
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_watcher/watch/log_error_watch' -d '{
  "trigger" : { "schedule" : { "interval" : "10s" } },
  "input" : {
    "search" : {
      "request" : {
        "indices" : ["logs"],
        "body" : {
          "query" : {
            "match" : { "message": "error" }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "actions" : {
    "log_error" : {
      "transform" : {
        "script" : "time = org.joda.time.format.ISODateTimeFormat.dateTime().withZone(org.joda.time.DateTimeZone.forID(\"Europe/Berlin\")).parseDateTime(ctx.trigger.triggered_time.toString()).toString() ; return [time_as_string : time]"
      },
      "logging" : {
        "text" : "Converted time {{ctx.payload.time_as_string}} vs {{ctx.trigger.triggered_time}}"
      }
    }
  }
}'

```
