Manage custom orders more effectively by delaying order status updates until they’re ready for shipment. This MESA workflow template automatically holds the fulfillment status and sends an email notification to the customer only when the order progresses to a ready-to-ship status. Perfect for merchants with custom steps in their fulfillment process, this setup ensures customers receive tracking information at the right time.
