# Connect Delay to Google Calendar and automate your tasks

## Why integrate Delay with Google Calendar
The Delay to Google Calendar integration helps you sync data, automate manual tasks, and keep your stack aligned — without writing code.

### Send a review request days after delivery
Add a delay after an order ships before MESA sends a review request. The message reaches customers after they've had time to use the product — not the moment it leaves the warehouse.

### Give customers a window to cancel before fulfillment
After an order is placed, MESA waits before triggering fulfillment steps. Customers who need to correct an address or cancel have a window to act before the process begins.

### Flag orders that haven't shipped within your SLA
MESA delays a set number of days after an order is placed, then checks whether it's been fulfilled. If not, your team gets an alert — or an action fires — before the customer notices.

### Schedule follow-ups and reminders from Shopify order events
When an order is placed, a fulfillment is delayed, or a return is filed in Shopify, MESA creates a Google Calendar event with the relevant details and assigns it to the right person. Your team never misses a follow-up because it lived in someone's head instead of their calendar.

### Block time for fulfillment based on incoming order volume
When orders cross a volume threshold in Shopify, MESA creates a Google Calendar event to reserve fulfillment capacity for your team. Your schedule reflects the work that's actually coming without someone manually blocking time.

### Trigger Shopify actions from Google Calendar events
When a scheduled event arrives — a sale launch, a product drop, a promotional window — MESA kicks off the corresponding action in Shopify. Your calendar becomes the trigger layer for your store, not just a reminder system.

## Build any Delay and Google Calendar automation
MESA helps you connect apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and actions are the steps that occur when it's running.
