Automation
Save time and eliminate mistakes with automation
Actions are the heart of user configurable automation in ShipWorks. While Shipping Rules configure shipments automatically, Actions can be configured to automatically execute other desired tasks. Each action can have an unlimited number of automatically executed tasks including: processing and printing shipping labels, checking for orders, printing reports, sending email, playing a sound alert, setting a status locally or online, validating address information, running Microsoft command prompt (CMD) syntax, uploading customizable data files to FTP, sending web requests, deleting older data from the system and creating a backing up of the entire database. Actions can be triggered on a schedule, when orders are downloaded, when shipments are processed/voided, when users click a custom button, or based on a Filter's contents changing. Triggering automation tasks when a Filter's contents change allows for incredible versatility by combining the power Filter capabilities. All ShipWorks plans allow configuring unlimited Actions at no additional cost.
