๐ About Order Management & Tracking
How does Order Management & Tracking automation work?
A workflow listens for events like โnew order,โ โpaid,โ or โfulfilledโ in tools such as Shopify or Stripe, then runs steps you define. It can enrich the order (customer history, address checks), store it in Google Sheets or a database, and send updates via Gmail or Slack. When tracking changes, the workflow posts notifications or messages customers automatically. If something looks wrongโno scan for 3 days, payment failsโit routes the case to a human with all details included.
Do I need technical skills to automate Order Management & Tracking?
Not usually. Most Flowpast workflows are plug-and-play: connect your accounts, pick a store, and turn it on. If you can map a few fields (order ID, email, tracking number), youโre good.
How much time can automation save for Order Management & Tracking?
Honestly, it depends on order volume and how messy your current process is. If youโre manually copying orders into spreadsheets, sending shipping confirmations, and answering โorder statusโ emails, automation can cut that work in half. Many teams save about 2 hours a day just by auto-logging orders, posting exceptions to Slack, and sending proactive tracking updates. The bigger win is fewer mistakes: missing a delayed shipment costs more than a few minutes of admin time.
What do I need to get started with an order tracking workflow?
Youโll need access to your commerce platform (like Shopify) and at least one destination for updates, such as Gmail, Slack, or Google Sheets. Have your API permissions ready, and decide what โexceptionsโ mean for you (failed payment, out-of-stock, no tracking scan, wrong address). Many workflows also use a webhook so updates arrive in real time. If you want AI-written customer messages, connect OpenAI and provide a short brand tone prompt. Then test with a few recent orders before going live.
