Transform your shipment tracking with Zapier
Zapier helps you build more reliable shipment tracking automation for ecommerce operations. Monitor tracking statuses, route delivery exceptions, and update customer records—and that's just the start.
Tracking status updates
Keep every shipment status current
Automate shipment status updates the moment tracking data changes. Zapier can move updates from ShipStation, Shippo, or Shopify into Google Sheets, Airtable, or your CRM so every order record stays current. That means fewer manual checks and faster visibility for your team.
Real-time status updates
Capture new tracking events as they happen and send them where your team works. Shipment updates can flow into Google Sheets, Airtable, or Slack without anyone refreshing carrier pages.
Order record updates
Keep each order record current when a package moves from label created to in transit or delivered. Tracking details can update fields in HubSpot, Salesforce, or Zoho CRM automatically.
Shared tracking logs
Send each shipment update into a central log for reporting and review. Teams can store tracking history in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or Airtable for cleaner visibility.
Delivered order flags
Mark orders as delivered the moment the final scan appears. That helps operations and support teams close loops faster and spot orders that need follow-up.
Daily tracking summaries
Roll shipment tracking activity into a recurring summary for your team. Daily digests can highlight delivered orders, stalled shipments, and fresh exceptions in Slack or Gmail.
