Streamline Order Fulfillment: Display Tracking Information Effortlessly with Zapier

In today’s fast-paced e-commerce world, providing customers instant access to their order tracking information is essential. Zapier, an online automation tool, seamlessly acts as the conduit between your business applications and services. By integrating Zapier into your workflow, you can automatically display shipping tracking info to customers efficiently and reliably, enhancing the customer service experience.

To begin, choose your order management system (e.g., Shopify, WooCommerce) as the “Trigger” app within Zapier. Next, select a “Trigger Event” that occurs when an order is fulfilled or a tracking number is generated.

Once the trigger is set up, pick the platform where you want to display the tracking info—for example, an email marketing service like Mailchimp, a customer support tool like Zendesk, or even an SMS service for direct texting.

Zapier offers integration with popular shipping carriers and tracking services, allowing you to fetch the tracking information in real time. To do this, configure an “Action” within your Zap to ‘Retrieve Tracking Details’ from your chosen shipping carrier's API through Zapier.

Finally, map out the tracking info onto the selected platform. It's possible that you'll need some formatting using Zapier's built-in 'Formatter' to translate raw tracking data into customer-friendly information. Once complete, the tracking details will be sent to your customer via the selected delivery method, automating what could be a time-consuming manual process, and ensuring customers are always informed.

Test your newly created Zap to make sure everything works as expected. With the right setup, anytime an order is fulfilled, tracking info will be dispatched to your customers without any additional input.

Don’t forget to monitor your Zap’s performance and make adjustments as needed. Streamlining your order tracking process with Zapier not only enhances efficiency but also boosts customer satisfaction, leading to increased trust and repeat business.

By harnessing the power of Zapier automation, you ensure that your customers are always in the loop regarding their purchases, contributing to a transparent and professional relationship.
