# Connect Delay to Paths and automate your tasks

## Why integrate Delay with Paths

The Delay to Paths 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.

### Route orders by value, tag, or product type

When an order is placed, Paths evaluates its conditions and sends it down the right branch. High-value orders, wholesale accounts, and standard fulfillment each follow a tailored sequence — without manual sorting.

### Give VIP customers a different experience

MESA identifies customers by tag, order history, or location and routes them through the appropriate path. First-time buyers, loyalty members, and wholesale accounts each get the right follow-up automatically.

### Handle fulfillment exceptions without manual triage

When a fulfillment event fires, Paths checks whether it's a standard shipment, expedited, or backorder and routes each to the correct next step. Your team only gets involved when it actually matters.

## Build any Delay and Paths 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.
