Start AfterShip tracking for each completed PayPal sale and text the buyer through ClickSend SMS

Get a tracking link to each buyer by text as soon as their PayPal payment goes through.

A shop that ships products has to set up tracking for every paid order. Doing this by hand causes delays, and buyers wait without knowing where their parcel is. This workflow creates the tracking in AfterShip the moment payment clears, then texts the buyer so they know what to expect.

Save each new PayPal buyer as a ClickSend SMS contact, then start AfterShip tracking and send a text

Add every paying customer to your text contacts, then send them their shipping update.

An online retailer wants a clean contact list before sending any messages. Adding each paying customer to ClickSend SMS keeps the list current without typing names in by hand. The tracking is then set up in AfterShip and the buyer gets their confirmation text.

Start AfterShip tracking and send a ClickSend SMS delivery alert only for PayPal sales that need shipping

Only physical orders get a tracking link and delivery text, so digital sales are skipped.

A seller who sells both downloads and physical goods does not want a shipping text for a digital product. Without a check, every sale would create a tracking record and a message. This workflow looks at each PayPal sale first, so only orders that need a parcel get tracking and a text.

Start AfterShip tracking for each PayPal sale and send a ClickSend SMS shipping text written for the buyer's region

Each buyer gets a shipping text written for their location and what they bought.

A seller shipping across borders has buyers who read in different languages and expect different details. A plain message can confuse them or get ignored. This workflow uses ChatGPT to write each text from the buyer's region and purchase, then sends it through ClickSend SMS once the tracking is set up.

Post order and shipment tracking details to fulfillment team channel

in Slack

Start AfterShip tracking, text the PayPal buyer through ClickSend SMS, and post the tracking details to your fulfillment team in Slack

Your buyer gets a text and your packing team sees the same tracking details in Slack.

A store with a warehouse team needs both the buyer and the packers to know about each order. Telling the packers by hand after every sale slows them down and details can be missed. This workflow posts the order and tracking details to the team channel as soon as the buyer gets their text.

Log each PayPal sale and its AfterShip tracking number in Google Sheets, and text the buyer through ClickSend SMS

Every order lands in your sheet with its tracking number, and the buyer gets a text.

A small business owner keeps an order log in a spreadsheet to check sales and shipping later. Typing in each transaction and tracking number takes time and invites mistakes. This workflow adds the row automatically and sends the buyer their update.

Send buyers a ClickSend SMS picture message with their AfterShip tracking after each PayPal sale

A branded image receipt with a tracking code goes to the buyer as a picture message.

A luxury seller wants a receipt that looks like the brand, not a plain line of text. A picture message with a tracking code can be scanned or tapped. This workflow creates the AfterShip tracking after payment and sends the image message through ClickSend SMS.

When a PayPal sale is refunded, find its AfterShip tracking, cancel the delivery, and text the buyer through ClickSend SMS

A refund stops the delivery in AfterShip and the buyer hears about it by text.

An online merchant refunds a sale while the parcel may still be on its way. Finding it by hand and telling the buyer takes time, and the parcel can still arrive. This workflow finds the tracking, updates it to cancel delivery, and sends the buyer a text about the change.
