Searching the forum, it seems like the answer is no, e.g. > [@email Automate Follow-Up of Email Leads a Week After](https://community.make.com/t/automate-follow-up-of-email-leads-a-week-after/27660): > > Problem Statement Have you received an email/Gmail enquiry about your services, and you responded but there was no further replies from the user? This could result in lost sales. Would it be nice if you could automate the sending of a reminder in the same Gmail thread a week later, to remind them that you are still awaiting their response? Scenario The router is put there so you can disable the route when testing the first two modules. Scheduling Run daily at … > [@Delay execution of a step in a scenario to a specific time based on previous step](https://community.make.com/t/delay-execution-of-a-step-in-a-scenario-to-a-specific-time-based-on-previous-step/17506): > > Hello, What i am trying to accomplish is the following use case: a user compiles a form in sharpspring providing phone number and a date of a desired appointment the day before the appointment a whatsapp message is sent to the user as a remainder. What is the intended way to accomplish this in Make? Thank you very much! At the moment I bounce stuff to Zapier when I need to e.g. schedule a 90 minute delay before sending an SMS after a cancellation of a Calendly event, or follow up the next day after a meeting. Seems Make is limited to the Sleep module, though tying together 18 sleep modules to achieve a 90minute wait seems… excessive. As for dynamically scheduling something like a one hour reminder before an event… I don’t see how this can be done in Make. For example, I get the calendly API event notifiying me when an invitee is created. From that, I take the date of the future Calendly event, subtract an hour, and send the data to Zapier to schedule the 1hr prior reminder. I don’t see that this can be done in Make at all. If anything, it would be nice to get a confirmation that this is not (currently?) an option in Make. If however, there is a way, then I am all ears and eyes. Thanks! ---

Welcome to the Make community! You can have the first scenario schedule a cron job callback using apps like [0CodeKit](https://www.make.com/en/integrations/onesaas) that allows you to schedule a “callback” to a URL defined in a “Custom Webhook” trigger in another scenario at the exact time you want ![Screenshot_2023-12-21_095501](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/6/7/672fddb091a612259570ba8ea8f5c46a28aeff85.png) [![Screenshot_2023-10-01_175322](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/8/2/82992cea833fc8f60a697a7f8e479e4c71f86c3c.png)](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/8/2/82992cea833fc8f60a697a7f8e479e4c71f86c3c.png) You don’t have to use a data store as trigger module, this is just an example. You can use Google Sheets, Google Calendar, Calendly, etc. Alternatively, if you are already using Airtable, you can use an Airtable formula and built-in automation, [briefly mentioned here](https://community.make.com/t/filter-by-time-trigger-automation-by-time-airtable/22871/4).
