● Alerts & Notifications

Keep Customers Informed
Without Lifting a Finger

A large share of customer support volume in eCommerce is simply "where is my order." Shiplystic's Alerts and Notifications automatically message customers at every key shipment milestone — order confirmed, shipped, out for delivery, delivered, or delayed — across SMS, WhatsApp, and email, without your team sending a single manual update.

Why It Matters

Proactive delivery updates reduce inbound "where's my order" support tickets and measurably improve the post-purchase experience — customers who are kept informed are also more likely to be available and cooperative at the delivery attempt, which reduces failed-delivery and RTO rates.

Automating notifications means your logistics team is spared from manually messaging customers at scale — a process that simply isn't sustainable past a small daily order volume.

Operational Savings Metrics

Automating milestone alerts yields direct benefits for customer satisfaction and delivery operations:

Up to 30% RTO Reduction — Pre-delivery address updates limit package returns.
Fewer Inbound Tickets — Proactive WhatsApp logs prevent repetitive support queries.
Standardized Escalations — Ops gets immediate alerts for stalled delivery issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about automated shipping notifications.

Can I customize the notification templates with my own branding and messaging?

Yes, absolutely. You can completely customize notification templates (SMS, WhatsApp, and HTML emails) inside the admin dashboard. You can add your brand logos, colors, custom text copy, dynamic parameters (customer name, tracking URL, order items), and custom call-to-action buttons.

Which channels are supported for customer notifications?

Shiplystic natively supports SMS, WhatsApp Business API messaging, and HTML emails out-of-the-box. Additionally, Shiplystic provides Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) push notification triggers for mobile applications and Web Push alert interfaces for desktop storefronts.

Do internal operational alerts go to my team automatically, or do they need to be set up separately?

Internal operational alerts (e.g. missed pickup notifications, stuck shipments, RTO warnings) go to your team automatically based on your initial subscription rules. You can select custom routing parameters to push alerts to designated Slack channels, manager email lists, or webhooks.

Fewer "where's my order" tickets. More informed customers.
