Shipping notifications

Picqer can automatically send an email to your customer once a picklist is closed; this is the shipping notification. This allows you to notify the customer immediately about the shipment, regardless of your source system.

How It Works

  • For each template, you can set whether a shipping notification should be sent. These are sent as soon as you close the picklist.
  • Shipping notifications are only sent if a valid email address is provided in the order.
  • One email is sent per picklist. If there are multiple picklists for one order, multiple emails will be sent for that order.
  • The email has a default design, but you can customize the text and add your own logo using Templates.

Dynamic Text

You can place placeholders between double curly braces. Picqer will replace them with data from the order, picklist, or shipment.

Example

Dear {{ delivery_address.name }},
becomes
Dear Ewout Arink,
