Shipping Delay and Order Exceptions

Starts when: An order misses a fulfilment milestone or the carrier reports a delay

Free plan · Outcome verification included · You approve every connection

How it runs

Six stages, from the moment it starts to the checks that keep running afterwards.

  1. It starts

    An order misses a fulfilment milestone or the carrier reports a delay

  2. Awish plans it and asks for each app

    The apps it needs are connected one at a time, with your permission, before anything runs.

  3. It does the work

    Exactly as the request below describes, across the connected apps.

  4. It stops where a person should decide

    Do not promise a delivery date that the carrier data does not support.

  5. It verifies the outcome

    After each run, Awish checks that the order, stock or customer update was actually applied.

  6. It keeps monitoring

    Failures, silent failures and connection health are watched on every plan; anomalies, root cause and recommendations on Business.

The request it runs

This is what opens in chat when you use the template. Change any part of it before anything connects.

“Set up an automation that manages order exceptions and shipping delays. Start it whenever an order misses a fulfilment milestone or the carrier status indicates a delay or an exception. It should classify the exception, update the support context, notify operations, send the customer an update in our approved language, and create a reship or refund approval when the threshold is crossed. Connect it with Shopify, Shippo, ShipEngine and Zendesk. Do not promise a delivery date that the carrier data does not support.”

Questions about this template

Can I change where it stops for approval?

Yes. Open the template in chat and say where you want it to stop. The plan updates before anything connects.

What if one of these apps is not connected yet?

Awish asks you to connect each app it needs, one at a time, before the workflow runs. You can decline any of them.

How does Awish know this workflow worked?

After each run it checks that the order, stock or customer update was actually applied, in the app where that should happen. If a run reports success but the result is missing, it flags a silent failure.

Run it on your own apps

It opens in chat with the request written. See the plan, approve each connection, and Awish verifies the outcome from the first run.
