# Alba Trees Integration

Order Desk can connect to [Alba Trees](http://www.albatrees.co.uk/) and send your orders to them for fulfillment. As they ship your orders, tracking details will be sent back into Order desk and back through to the original shopping cart.

This guide explains how to set up and use the Alba Trees integration in Order Desk.

### Setup

To connect the Alba Trees integration, click on the **Manage Integrations** link in the left sidebar and under the **Fulfillment** tab find and enable Alba Trees.

Alternatively, search for Alba Trees from the available integration search.

Once enabled, enter your Alba Trees credentials and click to connect.

Please note that Order Desk isn’t able to help find or reset your credentials, as they can only be provided by Alba Trees.

### Integration Settings

After you have connected the integration, you can apply your preferences in the settings.

#### Mode

Select Test when sending test orders through to Alba Trees. When ready to send live orders, switch this to Live.

If you need to use new credentials for a live connection, you can disconnect the integration by clicking the **Disconnect** button at the bottom of the integration settings and reconnect with your updated credentials.

#### After Import, Move To

Select the folder you want orders to be moved into after they are successfully sent to Alba Trees.

You can use one of the default folders already in your store or create your own. Read the [Working with Folders](/start-here/getting-started-series/quick-start-overview.md#working-with-folders) guide for more information.

#### After Shipment, Move To

Select the folder you want orders to be moved into as Alba Trees sends shipment details back to Order Desk.

#### Automatically Check For Shipments

Select this option if you want Order Desk to check for shipments from Alba Trees. If they have sent details back, they will be added to the orders here in Order Desk.

#### Automatically Send Imported Orders To Alba Trees

If selected, every order that is added to Order Desk will automatically be sent to Alba Trees.

Select this setting only if all orders will be sent to Alba Trees. If any orders will not be sent, or if you need a delay between when an order is imported into Order Desk and when it is sent do *not* select this.

#### Product Settings

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.orderdesk.com/integration-setup-guides/fulfillment-services/alba-trees-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
