Set up a notification when a carrier has added an order

To create a new rule, click + Create rule in one of the sections under the Rules tab in your user profile. This opens the Create rule modal.

To create a rule that notifies you when a carrier adds an order to a shipment, follow these simple steps:

 Rule name: Carrier adds an order to a shipment

Entity: Shipments

When: Use the When field to select what event you want to be notified about. If someone posts an update to a shipment, create a rule from the Shipments section, then select A shipment is added to an order from the When dropdown menu.

If (required): Is / Your Location

+ Add criteria: Optionally add additional criteria to further customize your rule. This allows you to only receive the notification if certain conditions are met along with the event chosen from the When dropdown

Actions: If you want to receive the notification anytime the When event occurs, select the Notification Method(s) that you want to be notified by in the Actions section. 

Save.

Note: Group is also required for a subset of Task notification events. The example below shows how the If (required) section with the Group field appears when A shipment is added to an order is selected.
