About This Automation

Order processing at DTC brands involves manually checking multiple sales channels, transcribing order data, and creating duplicate shipment records. This scattered workflow causes delays, transcription errors, and forgotten shipping notifications.

Automation captures orders directly from sales channels, syncs them to fulfillment systems, and triggers shipping confirmations automatically. Staff focus on picking and packing while systems handle data entry and notifications.

Key features
Capture orders automatically from all sales channels in real time
Sync order data directly to fulfillment systems without manual entry
Verify inventory availability and flag out-of-stock items instantly
Generate and batch print shipping labels with no duplicate data entry
Send shipping confirmations automatically with tracking information

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Order Placedtrigger

A customer completes checkout and the order is created. The automation is triggered immediately.

2. Fetch Order Data

The automation retrieves the full order record including customer name, address, items, quantities, and payment status.

3. Check Inventory Availability

The automation queries the inventory system to verify all items are in stock. If any item is out of stock, the order is flagged for manual review.

4. Create Shipment

The automation creates a shipment record with customer address, items, and estimated weight, eliminating manual data entry.

5. Generate Shipping Label

Automatically generates a shipping label and stores the label PDF and tracking number.

6. Send Shipping Notification to Customer

The automation sends a branded shipping confirmation email with tracking number and estimated delivery date.

7. Log Order

A message is posted confirming the order has been processed and is ready for warehouse pickup.
