Frequently asked questions
Will this send emails for every package or just specific shipping carriers?
This workflow triggers on any fulfillment that reaches "in transit" status in Tracktor, regardless of the shipping carrier. If you want to filter for specific carriers like UPS or FedEx, you can add a condition step to check the carrier name before sending the email.
What happens if a customer's order has multiple packages with different tracking numbers?
The workflow will send a separate email notification for each package that reaches "in transit" status. If an order ships in 2 packages, the customer will receive 2 separate notifications as each package begins its journey.
Can I customize the email design beyond just text, like adding my logo or HTML formatting?
Currently this workflow sends plain text emails through Gmail. To include HTML formatting, logos, or rich text design, you'd need to modify the Send Email step to use Gmail's HTML message format or connect a different email service like Mailgun that offers more design flexibility.
