How this automation works

Notify your team in Slack when a Printful order ships. The Applet runs when Printful's Order shipped trigger fires and posts a message to your chosen Slack channel with carrier and tracking details. Useful for e-commerce, fulfillment, and support teams who want immediate shipping updates from Printful delivered to Slack. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
