Connect Google Docs to Relay and automate your tasks

Why integrate Google Docs with Relay

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

Generate order and customer documents without manual writing

When an order is placed or a customer record is updated in Shopify, MESA creates a populated Google Doc — invoice, summary, brief — using your template. Every document is ready without anyone drafting it from scratch.

Turn Shopify events into briefings your team can act on

When a wholesale order comes in, a return is filed, or a VIP customer reaches a milestone, MESA creates a Google Doc with the relevant details and shares it with the right person. Your team has context without digging through the admin.

Keep product and operational docs current automatically

When a product is updated in Shopify — new description, price change, inventory note — MESA updates the corresponding Google Doc. Your internal catalog, SOPs, and reference docs stay in sync with what's actually in your store.

Break sprawling automations into manageable pieces

Relay lets one workflow hand off to another, so each piece stays focused and easy to maintain. Update or reuse a single step without touching everything downstream.

Catch workflow failures before they cost you an order

When a workflow errors, Relay routes the failure to another workflow that retries the task, alerts your team, or reroutes the order. Nothing silently drops.

Let AI decide how to handle a broken workflow

Your AI assistant reviews the failed step, the data involved, and past outcomes, then chooses whether to retry, escalate, or reroute the task. No manual triage required.

Build any Google Docs and Relay 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.
