Send Daily Reminders Until a Shopify Order Shipment Is Reported

5 min setup
No coding required
Runs automatically

When someone else ships your orders, chasing them for tracking numbers by hand takes time every day. This workflow runs each morning, finds unfulfilled Shopify orders that haven't been tagged as reported, and emails a reminder for each one. Once the shipment details come in and the order gets its reported tag, the reminders stop on their own.

FAQs

How do the reminders stop?

The filter skips any order whose tags contain shipping-reported. Add that tag when the shipment is reported, by hand or with a form workflow, and the next day's run leaves the order alone.

How many tasks will this use each day?

Roughly one task for the order list plus a few for each unfulfilled order in it, since the loop runs the filter and the email for every order. Keeping the list to recent unfulfilled orders keeps the count down.

How do I test it on a live store?

Point the email step at your own address and add a filter for one test order's name, run it once, then remove the test filter. Pause the workflow any time with its on/off switch.

Personalize this template

Customize this workflow even further:

Let the shipper report it with a form
Build a second workflow: Form Submitted (order number, tracking number, ship date), Shopify Get List of Orders filtered to that exact order name, then Shopify Order Add Tag shipping-reported, so the reminders stop as soon as the form is sent.
Send only one reminder per order
Add Shopify Order Add Tag reminder-sent after the email and also filter out orders with that tag.
