You will get a success message to inform you, that the app was connected successfully. The Custom events in Omnisend App will be created and will be triggered accordingly.
How it works
Once Easyship App is enabled, custom events are created in Omnisend. Those will be triggered accordingly:
EasyShip Label Created - once the label for the shipment is created;
EasyShip Status Changed - once the status of the shipment is changed in Easyship;
EasyShip Shipment Canceled - once the shipment is canceled.
More, all of the events have custom fields that could be used for the personalization of the messages:
Shipment status
Easyship shipment id
Recipient name
Destination address line 1
Destination address line 2
Destination postal code
Destination city
Destination state
Destination phone number
Destination email
Origin country
Destination Country
Courier Name
Min Delivery Time
Max Delivery Time
Tracking URL
Tracking Number
You may find these events in your Omnisend account settings by navigating to Profile menu -> Store Settings -> Integrations & API -> Custom events. You may see the short overview of the event in the screenshot presented below:
Later, these events can be used to trigger the Automation workflows in Omnisend.
After specifying the primary trigger in the workflow settings, you may also target your automation based on the information passed with the event and use it in the Trigger filter or the Split block settings. For example, you can have single automation with the trigger set to EasyShip Status Changed and an arbitrary number of the workflow for any of the Shipment statuses.
⚠️ Make sure the Frequency setting of the trigger is disabled so that the same customer could enter the workflow every time the shipment status updates.
Also, make sure you have different flows for each of the statuses. You can't use the Split block if the order status doesn't change right away.
Custom properties may also be used to insert personalized information for each of your customers. You may add your customers' profile data and the information passed by ShipStation to any of your messages.
All of these data can be added to the Email message as well. For example, the Tracking Link can be added to the corresponding button.
