Create, change or send.

  • Mark an order shipped

    Marks an order as shipped without buying a label in ShipStation (it was shipped some other way), with the carrier code.

  • Hold an order until a date

    Puts an order on hold until a date, when ShipStation moves it back to awaiting shipment.

  • Release an order from hold

    Moves an order from on hold back to awaiting shipment now.

  • Buy a label for an order

    Buys a shipping label for an order with a carrier and service (see "List services"), confirmation type and ship date; the postage is charged to the carrier account.

  • Void a labelDeletes data

    Voids a label bought in ShipStation by its shipmentId, so the carrier refunds the postage (unused labels only).

A person can approve first

Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything. Actions that delete data ask first by default.

Connection

How it connects

Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.

Ideas

Ideas to start with

Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.

  • 01

    Ask about your ShipStation data

    Ask a question in plain words. The agent can find orders, get an order or get shipping rates in ShipStation, then answers with what it found.

  • 02

    Let an agent update ShipStation

    Have the agent mark an order shipped or hold an order until a date in ShipStation as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.

  • 03

    Share what it finds in Slack

    Give one agent ShipStation and Slack: it can find orders in ShipStation and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
