About This Automation

Shipping notification involves confirming that an order has shipped, retrieving its tracking number, and passing that information to the customer. Doing this by hand across separate systems creates delays, mismatched records, and a steady stream of status inquiries before customers hear anything.

The automated version retrieves tracking details as soon as a shipment is marked complete, matches it to the right order, and delivers a notification through the customer's preferred channel. Records update automatically, and the resulting drop in status inquiries frees staff for other work.

Key features
Detects newly shipped orders without manual checking
Retrieves and matches tracking numbers to the correct customer order
Sends shipping confirmations through the customer's preferred channel
Updates customer and order records at the same time as notification
Reduces inbound status inquiries by notifying customers sooner
Flags mismatched or missing tracking data for quick review
