# Status update

Once you have deliveries created within our system, you can proceed with updating statuses. This process involves keeping the statuses of orders updated in your external platform, so when an event occurs within the Shippify application, it also appears reflected in your system.

For example, when a driver completes a delivery from the app, this change will be reflected in the Shippify dashboard. This process is to ensure that this same status is reflected in the dashboard of your external platform.

To perform this update, we have two methods:

<table data-card-size="large" data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><a href="/pages/aepr65IIY2lPxY6Dc8oy">Suscripciones a webhooks</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/pio853kt3cUzAM2VhgsL">Polling Continuo</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
For either of the two options you choose, you'll need to link our statuses with yours, so you'll need to learn more about our[ delivery life cycle](/developers/en/integration-guide/basic-processes/status-update/statuses.md).
{% endhint %}
