About This Automation

Shipping and tracking notifications require pulling ready orders, printing labels, updating order status, and manually drafting emails once a package ships.

The automated version creates labels and syncs order status the moment a package is ready, then sends tracking messages instantly instead of in a batch. Delivery exceptions are flagged and routine location questions are answered before a person has to look anything up.

Key features
Creates carrier labels automatically once an order is packed and paid
Syncs fulfillment status between the order platform and shipping system without manual entry
Sends tracking emails and texts within minutes of label creation instead of in an end of day batch
Watches carrier scan data continuously for delays or failed delivery attempts
Alerts the team the moment a shipment looks at risk of an exception
Drafts replies to order location questions so a person only needs to review and send

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Order Marked Ready To Shiptrigger

Order status changes to ready-to-ship, kicking off the automated sequence.

2. Generate Label And Update Status

Shipping Label & Status Sync creates the shipping label and updates the order status.

3. Pack Order

Warehouse packer boxes the order and attaches the printed label, the one step that stays manual.

4. Draft Tracking Messages

Tracking Notification pulls the tracking number and prepares the email and SMS copy for this order.

5. Send Tracking Email

Tracking email sends automatically within minutes of label creation.

6. Send Tracking SMS

A short SMS update sends to the customer's mobile number on file.

7. Handle Delivery Exception

Delivery Exception & WISMO flags stalled or exception scans, posts an alert, and drafts a customer reply.

8. Log Delivered Confirmation

Order is marked delivered automatically once the carrier confirms the final scan.
