            Date endTime = dateFormat.parse("2024-04-16 00:00:00");

            Appointment appointment = new Appointment();

    }
    
    private static TimeZoneDefinition getTimeZone(Service service, String name) throws ServiceException

        for (TimeZoneDefinition timeZone : response.getTimeZoneDefinitions())
        {
            if (timeZone.getName().indexOf(name) > 0)
            {
                return timeZone;
