AfterShip

AfterShip is a platform for shipment tracking and delivery notifications, commonly used in ecommerce to provide customers with real-time updates on their orders.

Key features include:

Shipment tracking across multiple couriers
Automatic carrier detection
Customer delivery notifications
API-based tracking management

This scenario creates an AfterShip tracking entry when a ShopWired order is updated. It filters for orders with tracking data and sends the information to AfterShip using its API.

This scenario allows:

Triggering on order updates in ShopWired
Filtering orders where tracking is present and status has changed
Creating a tracking entry in AfterShip via API
Sending customer details for delivery notifications

ShopWired can only provide support for the scenario as provided in this guide. Any customisations or changes made to the scenario are supported by Make.
