nylas timezone find-meeting in Practice: Find overlapping business hours across multiple timezones to schedule a meeting

Find overlapping business hours across multiple timezones to schedule a meeting. No internet connection or API key needed.

The nylas timezone find-meeting command calculates available meeting windows when participants span multiple timezones. Pass two or more IANA zones and an optional duration, and it returns time slots where all participants fall within business hours (9 AM - 5 PM local).

Syntax

nylas timezone find-meeting --zones ZONE1,ZONE2 [--duration MINUTES]

Examples

Find meeting time for US and EU teams:

nylas timezone find-meeting --zones America/New_York,Europe/London

Find 60-minute slot across three timezones:

nylas timezone find-meeting --zones America/Los_Angeles,America/New_York,Asia/Kolkata --duration 60

How It Works

These timezone commands use the IANA timezone database compiled into the binary. No network calls, no API keys, no rate limits. They work on airplanes.

When to Use This

Reach for nylas timezone find-meeting when scheduling meetings across time zones or converting times in scripts. Combine with --json to pipe output into other tools.

Tips

Script-friendly: Add --json for machine-readable output and --yes (where supported) to skip confirmations in automated pipelines.

CI/CD ready: This command works in non-interactive mode. Set NYLAS_API_KEY as an environment variable and it picks up credentials automatically.
