🚀📢 Big things just landed! Activity view now shows run data upfront with powerful bulk actions, MESA’s AI gets a permanent home in your sidebar, and 14 new templates arrive to help you grow revenue, save time, and stay organized. Plus, two new app integrations join the MESA ecosystem.
Here's everything new happening with MESA this month:
⚡ Activity view overhaul
We've redesigned Activity view to show run details in the main list and added bulk actions for managing multiple runs at once.
Run data now surfaces upfront, while task-specific details live on dedicated pages you can access by clicking any workflow run. New bulk actions let you manage multiple runs simultaneously, and we've fine-tuned search and filtering. On the Run Detail page, nested items stay expanded by default, plus updates to the Variables sheet, Time Travel, and more.
🤖 MESA’s AI in the sidebar
You might have noticed some changes to MESA’s AI! That cute little face now lives in the topnav.
Click on MESA’s AI and the chat window appears next to your dashboard (go fullscreen anytime with the button next to submit). The sidesheet becomes the canvas for exciting new MESA features in Q1, from getting started with MESA to debugging errors, side-by-side building in the Workflow Builder, and yes, maybe one day even writing your custom code.
💰 14 new templates to multiply your impact
This month's templates focus on three outcomes: growing revenue, saving time, and staying organized.
Grow revenue (5 templates)
Save time (5 templates)
Stay organized (4 templates)
🆕 Featured apps: Tally & ClickUp
Tally
Tally is a simple, no-code tool for creating online forms that feel as easy as writing a document. Build surveys, sign-up forms, or questionnaires quickly, with powerful features like logic, payments, and integrations built in by default. Use Tally submissions to trigger MESA workflows that update customers, sync to marketing lists, or create records across your tech stack.
ClickUp
ClickUp is a project and task management tool (similar to Asana) that helps teams organize work, track progress, and collaborate more effectively. Connect ClickUp to MESA to automatically create tasks from orders, sync project updates, or trigger notifications based on workflow activity.
🔉 December '25 Playlist
This month's playlist is a team effort—everyone at ShopPad submitted 1-2 songs, and we curated them into one gloriously unpredictable mix. From Vince Guaraldi's holiday jazz to Warren G's West Coast classics, Taylor Swift ballads to electronic experiments from Lorn, this playlist has zero chill and even less genre coherence. It's what happens when you let the entire ShopPad family DJ. Press play if you're ready for some delightful whiplash.
