How to import and use protobuf timestamppb package in a proto file?

I want to use timestamppb package in my protobufs because it helps to easily convert Timestamp to Go time. Time. However, I can't figure out how to import it into the .proto file. When I try I get the following error Import "google.golang.org/protobuf/types/known/timestamppb" was not found or had errors.

I looked at the documentation timestamppb docs for the timestamppb package but it seems there are no examples of how to use it in .proto files.

syntax = "proto3";

import "google.golang.org/protobuf/types/known/timestamppb";
// import "google.golang.org/protobuf/types/known/timestamppb.proto"; I tried this too but no luck

message Example {
  timestamppb.Timestamp example_time = 1;
}

The import for .proto files is:

import "google/protobuf/timestamp.proto";

The one that you tried is the path that is needed in Go Code in combination with go get.
