So now, one of the Formatting issues I can fix is the UTC Timezone. I can do this in the Location section of Formatting issues. But I can only mass apply the change to 50 records at a time. How can I automate this feature? The Time zone property I have access to in workflows is not the correct one and the one I DO have access to declares it a HubSpot property and I am not allowed to change it.

Hey Joshua,  
as far as I could see, there’s no faster way than [mass accepting 50 suggestions at a time](https://arc.net/l/quote/lrapxmuh). Probably Hubspot’s idea was to have a human look over it before accepting everything. Maybe Hubspot will add it to [the “Automation” functionality](https://arc.net/l/quote/fgeicxmn) (top right corner under Formatting Issues) like they did for “Capitalize First Name” in the future 🤖  
As far as workflows, you could observe if there are patterns or common countries/cities that have missing timezones and then create a workflow similar as in the screenshot (Example with France & UK; you could also do it for cities or regions) The “time zone” property is on contact level and I was able to select a dropdown option.

Hope this was helpful, have a great day! 😊

Ah. Ok. I was afraid of that. I was hoping I was just missing something. But your solution would work.

Hi there! I built a HubSpot plugin called [ZipCode AutoFill](https://app.hubspot.com/ecosystem/47382331/marketplace/apps/zipcode-autofill-3902521) that can update the default HubSpot timezone property automatically by extracting it from the 5-digit US postal code. Even better, you can use [What Time Is It?](https://app.hubspot.com/ecosystem/48135013/marketplace/apps/what-time-is-it) to display the current time for your contact right on the contact record.
