How it works

3 steps to get Slack notifications for every international order

Shopify logo icon

Order Created

App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This trigger monitors your Shopify store for new orders and kicks off the workflow whenever a customer completes a purchase, capturing all the order details needed for the notification.

This step automatically activates when any new order is created in your Shopify store. No configuration is required - MESA connects directly to your Shopify account and listens for order creation events. When triggered, it captures the complete order information including customer details, shipping address, order total, and order number. This data gets passed to the next step to determine if the order qualifies for a Slack notification.

Filter: Check if shipping address is international

App connector: Filter • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This filter ensures you only get notifications for orders that actually need your attention by checking if the shipping address is outside the US, preventing notification spam from domestic orders.

This step examines the shipping address country code from each new order and compares it against "US" to identify international orders. The filter uses a "does not equal" comparison, meaning orders shipping to any country except the United States will pass through to trigger the Slack notification. Orders with US shipping addresses get stopped here and won't generate notifications. You can modify this filter to target different countries or regions based on your business needs.

Send Message

App connector: Slack • Time to complete: 1 minute
Why this matters: This action delivers the formatted notification to your team's Slack channel with all the essential order details, so you can quickly review international orders that may need special handling for customs, shipping, or customer service.

This step sends a structured message to your specified Slack channel containing the order number, total amount, and complete customer shipping address. You'll need to configure the "channel" field with your target Slack channel name (like "#international-orders" or "#fulfillment"). The message automatically formats the customer's full name, address lines, city, state/province, postal code, and country for easy review. MESA handles the Slack API connection and message formatting automatically once you specify the destination channel.
