# Connect Google Docs to Trello and automate your tasks

### Why integrate Google Docs with Trello

The Google Docs to Trello 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.

### Keep Trello boards current as orders arrive

When a Shopify order is placed, MESA automatically creates or updates a Trello card with the order details. Your team sees what needs action without manual data entry.

### Alert your team when Trello card status changes

When a card moves to a new list, MESA notifies the right people in Slack or email. Nothing stalls waiting for someone to notice an update.

### Log Shopify activity to Trello without lifting a finger

Every fulfillment, refund, or high-value order gets logged as a Trello card automatically. Your board stays up to date and your team stays in the loop.

## Build any Google Docs and Trello 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.
