# 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.
