How to Set Up the Action in Zapier
Connect Your Shippify Account:
First, make sure your Shippify account is connected to Zapier. Go to "My Apps" in Zapier, search for "Shippify," and connect your account using your credentials.
You can find your account credentials at this link.
Select a Trigger:
Choose an app to act as the trigger (e.g. an order form, a new row in a spreadsheet, or a new order in your online store). We'll use this spreadsheet as an example.
Set up the trigger to fire the Zap when the desired event occurs (e.g. when a new order is received and you create a new row).
Set up the Create Delivery Action:
Add the Shippify Create Delivery action to your Zap.
Map the trigger data to the required and optional fields provided by Shippify.
Test and Activate your Zap:
Before activating your Zap, perform a test to ensure that the delivery is created correctly in Shippify. Once the test is successful, activate your Zap.
From now on, every time the trigger event occurs, a delivery will be automatically created in Shippify.
Usage Examples
Create deliveries when a new row is added to a shared spreadsheet.
Create deliveries when an email with a specific format is received.
Create deliveries when a Slack message with a specific format is received.
Create deliveries when a file is sent via webhook.
Common Troubleshooting
Incorrect or Missing Data: Ensure that all required fields (name, phone number, address) are correctly mapped from the trigger. Incorrect mapping can cause the delivery to fail or be created with incomplete data.
Authentication Error: If Zapier is unable to connect to your Shippify account, check that your credentials are correct.
