Changelog: New conditions and actions for rules, and more updates

In recent weeks, we’ve introduced several improvements for date and time-based rules. Read more about these and other updates in this changelog.

Conditions based on order date and time

You can now set specific order dates or times as rule conditions. For both, you can choose from two options:

• The order was placed before the date or time
• The order was placed on or after the date or time

You can combine multiple conditions to trigger actions during a specific time frame. For example, you could offer a free gift for orders placed during a promotional period, or apply a different shipping method depending on the time an order was placed.

Snooze picklists for a set number of hours or until a specific date

When snoozing a picklist using a rule, you can now specify how many hours it should be snoozed. You can also set a specific date to resume the picklist. This is especially useful for pre-orders that should only ship on or after the product release date.

More control over printing packing slips

Previously, packing slips were always printed automatically if a packing slip printer was set up at the packing station. You can now decide whether to print packing slips at all. Using rules, you can override that default setting. This gives you full control and can save a lot of unnecessary paper.
