About This Automation

Shipping and tracking notifications require staff to manually check fulfillment systems, extract tracking numbers from multiple carrier portals, and compose personalized messages for each customer.

Automation retrieves tracking data in real time, composes and sends notifications instantly across all channels, and logs results automatically. Customers receive tracking information within minutes of shipment, and support inquiries drop significantly.

Log shipment and notification details automatically for audit and compliance
Monitor for delivery exceptions and alert staff to issues requiring manual follow-up

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Order Marked as Shippedtrigger

Automation detects when an order status changes to shipped and a tracking number is available.

2. Fetch Tracking Details

The automation retrieves the tracking number, carrier name, and estimated delivery date and enriches it with carrier tracking link.

3. Enrich Customer Data

Customer name, email, phone number, and communication preferences are pulled to determine which channels to use.

4. Send Email Notification

A personalized tracking email is sent using a pre-built template with the customer name, order number, tracking link, and estimated delivery date.

5. Send SMS Notification

If the customer has opted in to SMS, a text message with the tracking number and carrier link is sent.

6. Log Shipment Record

Shipment details, notification timestamps, and delivery status are logged for audit and reporting.

7. Post Notification Summary

A daily summary of shipments notified is posted so the team has visibility into notification status.
