Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Gmail, Shippo, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Gmail and Shippo integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Gmail 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 Gmail and Shippo
Gmail + Shippo + Google Sheets: When a new email arrives in Gmail regarding a shipment, extract the tracking number and use Shippo to retrieve the latest shipment details. Then, add a new row to a Google Sheet with the tracking number and shipment status.
Shippo + Gmail + Slack: When a new shipping label is created in Shippo, send the label information via Gmail. If the shipment encounters an issue based on Shippo's data, notify the support team in Slack via a channel message.
