# Schedule

The **Schedule** tool allows you to schedule workflows on a specific date and time.

You are offered two options: **Recurring** and **One time**. Recurring means that the workflow will trigger at a frequency (i.e. hourly, daily, etc...). One time means that the workflow will trigger once on the date and time of your choosing.

You can click on the hyperlink **Timezone:** to be redirected to your Shopify store's timezone settings.

With MESA and the Schedule tool together, you can schedule important workflows without worrying if they will run when you need them to.

In future steps of your workflow, you can [filter by](https://docs.getmesa.com/tools/filter) the Executed at and Scheduled at times relating to the Schedule trigger.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.getmesa.com/tools/schedule.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
