1.Monitors new or updated shipment records
Integrate Zapier Tables and shipment tracking tools to detect stalled shipment record changes for review.
Send delivery stalled alert to team inbox for review

How this automation protects on-time delivery
When shipment records stay in stalled statuses, delays compound and customers get impacted. This automation re-fetches records after a timed delay and sends email alerts to the teamβso your team can triage fast.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
