# Connect Activity to ShipStation and automate your tasks

## Why integrate Activity with ShipStation

The Activity to ShipStation integration helps you sync data, automate manual tasks, and keep your stack aligned — without writing code.

### See exactly what data flows through each step

Activity Log snapshots variables at any point in a workflow, so you can see what data was present when each step ran. When something behaves unexpectedly, the answer is already in your logs.

### Build an audit trail for every order processed

Add Activity Log steps to order workflows to record what happened, when, and with which data. Every run creates a searchable record your team can reference if questions come up later.

### Confirm the right data reaches each integration

Log the payload before it's sent to an external service to verify the values are correct. Catch mismatched fields, missing data, or formatting errors before they cause a sync to fail.

### Push every Shopify order to ShipStation the moment it's placed

When an order comes in, MESA sends it to ShipStation with the right shipping method, carrier, and fulfillment rules already applied. Your team picks up a ready-to-ship order, not a configuration task.

### Route orders to the right warehouse based on what's in the cart

When an order contains specific products, a wholesale flag, or a regional destination, MESA reads the details and sends it to the correct ShipStation fulfillment location. Every order reaches the right facility without manual sorting.

### Update Shopify the moment ShipStation marks an order shipped

When ShipStation generates a tracking number and marks an order fulfilled, MESA writes the update back to Shopify and triggers any downstream actions — a Klaviyo notification, a customer tag, a loyalty point. Your post-purchase workflow starts the moment fulfillment does.

## Build any Activity and ShipStation 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.
