Depending on your setup, data should flow between DonationAlerts and Shippo (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect DonationAlerts and Shippo
DonationAlerts + Shippo + Google Sheets: When a new donation alert is received, extract the donor's address (if provided) and create a shipping label in Shippo. Then, log the donation and shipment details in a Google Sheet.
DonationAlerts + Shippo + Slack: When a new donation alert is received, and the donation triggers a physical reward, automatically create a shipment in Shippo using available shipping information, and then notify the donor in Slack via a direct message to inform them about the shipment.
