1.Detect updated shipment record
Integrate Airtable and base automation tools to detect updated shipment rows and route only qualifying dispatch records.
Send pickup emails to carriers per shipment immediately
Automatically monitor updated shipment records across Airtable and routing rules with Paths by Zapier. Create and update when dispatch is flagged, carrier lane matches, or pickup attachments are added—so you can send pickup emails, attach documents, and record dispatch status without manual follow-up.
How this automation protects pickup dispatch accuracy
When a shipment record is updated but dispatch messages are not sent right away, pickups can be missed and carriers get stale instructions. This automation evaluates routing matches, sends pickup emails with attachments, and updates Airtable send status—so your team can confirm dispatch without chasing messages.

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 — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
