# Connect Email to Gmail and automate your tasks

## Why integrate Email with Gmail

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

### Trigger customer alerts the moment something changes

When a Shopify event fires, MESA sends a targeted email to the right person — customer, teammate, or vendor — with order details, tracking info, or status updates pulled directly from the workflow.

### Turn inbound emails into workflow triggers

Every email sent to your custom MESA address becomes a workflow trigger. Subject line, sender, and message body pass through as variables, so you can route, log, or respond to inbound email automatically.

### Send personalized transactional emails at scale

Each email MESA sends can include customer names, order details, and product data pulled directly from the workflow. Recipients get accurate, relevant communication without any manual drafting.

### Send the right email at the right moment

When an order ships, a customer churns, or inventory runs low, MESA triggers the right Gmail message automatically. No missed sends, no manual follow-up queues.

### Keep your team in the loop on what matters

MESA sends internal Gmail alerts when orders hit thresholds, fulfillment stalls, or tasks need attention. Your team acts on real data, not status update requests.

### Log every outbound email as a record

Every Gmail message MESA sends gets written back to your spreadsheet, CRM, or order notes. You always know what was sent, when, and to whom.

## Build any Email and Gmail 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.
