Delaying a Zap for a year

Question

Hi Zapier Community,As stated in the title, I’m looking to get an action to trigger after a year. To be accurate, I set up a learning quiz using LearnDash and I’m looking for a way to send an email a year after it gets successfully completed. Because LearnDash works well with Zapier, it would be convenient to find a way to solve my problem using it.Upon reading the documentation from this article, I understand that a delay can only be scheduled for up to a month in Zapier and I should look for another way to do what I want.However, if someone has an idea on how to bypass this or can recommend an alternative solution I would be grateful to hear it.

Hey there!Chelsey from Zapier Support here! You could potentially do this using two Zaps. The first Zap would trigger when a Learndash Quiz is completed, and you could use something like this:LearnDash: Quiz CompletedFormatter by Zapier: Date / TimeGoogle Calendar: Create Detailed EventClick here to create this Zap.The above would need to use a formatter step to calculate 1 year from the date that the Quiz is completed, and use that as the Date/Time of the event in Google Calendar. Then, you could trigger a second Zap using Google Calendar’s Event StartGoogle Calendar: Event StartGmail: Send EmailClick here to create this Zap.I hope these help!Best,Chelsey
