Latenode

Notify customers via Gmail when orders ship from ShipStation

This template emails customers when ShipStation marks an order shipped. Point ShipStation shipping webhooks at a Latenode webhook.

JavaScript reads customer email, order number, and tracking, then Gmail sends the message. Connect Gmail. Put a ShipStation API key in that JavaScript node if you look up extra order fields.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

  • Takes the shipped event on a webhook
  • Maps order and tracking in JavaScript
  • Keeps Gmail access on the Gmail connection

How it works

1
Trigger

Receive the shipped order

The scenario starts when ShipStation posts a shipped-order event to your Latenode webhook.

2
Logic

Map order and tracking

JavaScript reads customer email, order number, tracking number, and carrier. Put the ShipStation API key in that node if you fetch extra detail.

3
Action

Send the Gmail message

Gmail sends the shipping email from the mailbox you connect, using those order fields in the subject and body.

Setup guide

1

Add the webhook

Add a webhook trigger and copy its URL. In ShipStation, send shipped-order webhooks to that URL.

2

Map the shipment fields

In JavaScript, read customer email, order number, tracking number, and carrier. Store a ShipStation API key in that node if the webhook payload is thin.

3

Connect Gmail

Add a Gmail connection with permission to send mail. Set the recipient from the customer email, then write a subject and body that include order number and tracking. Ship a test order and confirm the email.

Requirements

A ShipStation account that can POST shipped-order webhooks
A Gmail mailbox Latenode can send from
A ShipStation API key in the JavaScript node if you fetch extra order fields
