# Connect Loop Returns to Relay and automate your tasks

## Why integrate Loop Returns with Relay

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

### Update Shopify customer records when a return is initiated

When a customer starts a return in Loop, MESA updates their Shopify record with the relevant details — return reason, product, order value. Your team and connected tools have the full picture before the return is even completed.

### Trigger retention workflows the moment a return is filed

When a customer initiates a return in Loop, MESA kicks off the right response — a Klaviyo win-back flow, a Slack alert to the right team member, a loyalty point adjustment in Rivo. You act on the signal while the customer relationship is still recoverable.

### Route high-value return events to your team before they escalate

When a VIP customer, a large-order return, or a repeat returner is flagged in Loop, MESA notifies the right person through Slack or email with the order context already attached. Your team responds before the situation becomes a churn event.

### 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 Loop Returns 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.
