# Connect Algolia to Ask and automate your tasks

## Why integrate Algolia with Ask

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

### Keep your Algolia search index current as your catalog changes

When a product is added, updated, or removed in Shopify, MESA syncs the change to Algolia automatically. Your customers search against an accurate catalog without scheduled reindexing or manual pushes between updates.

### Reflect inventory and pricing changes in search results instantly

When stock runs out or a price changes in Shopify, MESA updates the corresponding Algolia record in real time. Your search results never surface products customers can't buy at the price they expect.

### Trigger Shopify workflows from what customers search for

When a customer's search behavior in Algolia signals intent — a repeated query, a zero-results search, a high-converting term — MESA kicks off the right action in Shopify. Your store responds to what customers are looking for, not just what they buy.

## Build any Algolia and Ask 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.
