# Connect Ask to FTP and automate your tasks

## Why integrate Ask with FTP

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

### Receive inventory updates from your supplier

When a supplier drops a CSV on your FTP server, MESA picks it up on schedule and updates Shopify product inventory automatically. Stock levels stay accurate without manual imports or copy-paste.

### Send order files to your fulfillment partner

After orders are placed, MESA generates a formatted CSV and uploads it to your 3PL's FTP server. Your fulfillment partner has what they need without manual exports or email attachments.

### Sync product catalog updates from a supplier feed

MESA reads your supplier's product file on a schedule and maps the data to Shopify's format. New SKUs, updated prices, and changed descriptions land in your store without manual intervention.

## Build any Ask and FTP 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.
