Create a FedEx shipment and label from an order
When an order arrives via webhook it creates the FedEx shipment, saves the tracking in a Data Store and emails the customer.
Everything is created inactive in a new folder of your account. Nothing runs until you activate it, and you can undo it for 24 hours.
What it does
Connect your shop or ERP to FedEx: every order arriving via webhook becomes a shipment with its label, without touching the carrier portal. The workflow builds the sender and recipient in the exact format FedEx requires, creates the shipment, stores the tracking number in the envios Data Store (the same one used by automatic tracking and the logistics dashboard) and emails the customer the tracking link.
What you need: FedEx credentials allowed to create shipments and a mail account.
How to use it: install the template, enter your warehouse details, connect FedEx and email and send a test order to the webhook.
