# Connect Delay to Help Scout and automate your tasks ## Why integrate Delay with Help Scout The Delay to Help Scout 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. ### Give your support team full Shopify context on every conversation When a customer reaches out in Help Scout, MESA pulls their Shopify order history, tags, and customer details into the conversation. Your team responds with the full picture without switching between tools to find it. ### Create and update Shopify customer records from Help Scout conversations When a key detail is captured or a contact is updated in Help Scout, MESA writes it to the corresponding Shopify customer record. Your store and your support platform stay in sync without anyone reconciling them manually. ### Trigger Help Scout conversations from Shopify order and fulfillment events When an order ships, a delivery is delayed, or a return is filed in Shopify, MESA opens or updates the right Help Scout conversation automatically. Your support team gets ahead of customer questions before they arrive. ## Build any Delay and Help Scout 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. ###### Beacon Chat Chat Created Starts when a chat is created. - ID - Customer ID - Created At - Threads ###### Beacon Chat Customer Replied Starts when a customer replies to a Beacon Chat message. - ID - Customer ID - Created At - Threads ###### Conversation Agent Reply Created Starts when a conversation agent reply is created. - ID - Number - Threads - Type - Folder ID - Status - State - Subject - Preview - Mailbox ID - Assignee - Created By - Created At - Closed By - Closed By User - Closed At - User Updated At - Customer Waiting Since - Source - Tags - Cc - Bcc - Primary Customer - Snooze - Next Event - Custom Fields - Embedded - Links ###### Conversation Assigned Starts when a conversation is assigned. ###### Conversation Created Starts when a conversation is created. ###### Conversation Custom Fields Changed Starts when a conversation custom field is changed. ###### Conversation Customer Reply Created Starts when a customer reply is created. ###### Conversation Deleted Starts when a conversation is deleted. ###### Conversation Merged Starts when a conversation is merged. ###### Conversation Moved Starts when a conversation is moved. ###### Conversation Note Created Starts when a conversation note is created. ###### Conversation Status Changed Starts when a conversation status is changed. ###### Conversation Tags Updated Starts when a conversation tag is updated. ###### Customer Created Starts when a customer is created. - ID - First Name - Last Name - Emails - Created At - Photo URL - Phone - Job Title - Organization - Background - Social Profiles - Address ###### Customer Deleted Starts when a customer is deleted. - ID - First Name - Last Name - Emails - Created At - Photo URL - Phone - Job Title - Organization - Background - Social Profiles - Address ###### Customer Updated Starts when a customer is updated. - ID - First Name - Last Name - Emails - Created At - Photo URL - Phone - Job Title - Organization - Background - Social Profiles - Address ###### Message Survey Response Received Starts when a response to a message survey is received. - ID - Conversation ID - Rating - Comment - Submitted At ###### Satisfaction Ratings Starts when a satisfaction rating is given. - Rating ID - Conversation ID - Score - Comment - Created At ###### Tag Created Starts when a tag is created. - ID - Tag - Color ###### Tag Deleted Starts when a tag is deleted. - ID - Tag - Color ###### Tag Updated Starts when a tag is updated. - ID - Tag - Color ###### Add Customer Thread to Conversation Adds a customer thread to a conversation. - ID ###### Add Note to Conversation Add a note to a conversation. - ID ###### Create Chat Thread Start a chat thread. - Customer - Text - Imported - Created At - Attachments ###### Create Conversation Create a conversation in an inbox with at least one thread. - Customer - Subject - Auto Reply - Imported - Type - Assign To - Mailbox ID - Status - Created At - Threads - Tags - Fields - User - Closed At ###### Create Customer Create a customer. - First Name - Last Name - Phone - Photo URL - Job Title - Photo Type - Background - Location - Organization - Gender - Age - Emails - Phones - Chats - Social Profiles - Websites - Address - Properties ###### Create Email Create an email. - Value - Type ###### Create Reply Thread Start a reply thread. - Customer - Text - Draft - Imported - Status - User - Cc - Bcc - Created At - Attachments ###### Delete Conversation Remove a conversation. ###### Delete Customer Remove a customer. ###### Delete Scheduled Thread Unschedule a thread. ###### Delete User Remove a user. ###### Get List of Conversation's Threads Obtain a list of a conversation's threads. - ID - Type - Status - State - Created At - Created By - Body - Source - Customer - Saved Reply ID - Assigned To - To - Cc - Bcc - Rating - Scheduled - Embedded ###### Get List of Conversations Obtain a list of conversations. ###### Get List of Customers Obtain a list of customers. - ID - First Name - Last Name - Gender - Job Title - Location - Organization - Photo Type - Photo URL - Age - Created At - Updated At - Background - Draft - Embedded - Links ###### Get List of Emails Obtain a list of emails. - ID - Value - Type - Links ###### Publish Thread Schedule Publish a scheduled thread.
