Question

Can Zapier grab shipment updates via tracking numbers?

Here is my dream scenario and not quite sure if it is available.

Our software populates a google sheet with order details.  One of these details would be a shipment tracking number.  I want to be able to check that tracking either periodically, or subscribe to a webhook to then update my google sheet with the shipment status.  At the very least a delivered date.

Does anyone know if this setup is possible?

Hi @Darin Zenventory 

Good question.

This is an advanced approach using webhooks and Shippo.

Zap trigger: Webhook - Catch Hook

  • track_updated : for tracking status updates. The POST request body will contain a JSON of the  Tracking object .
    If you are interested in the types of events returned within the track_updated field, please view more details here .
    • For API version 2017-03-29 and older, the body will contain the  Transaction object  if the label was created on Shippo.
    • Shipment statuses are polled by us from the carrier API every ~2 hours, if there are any status changes, we immediately POST updates to the webhook.
