These improvements are especially valuable for wholesale operations where timely updates are crucial for maintaining fulfillment and customer satisfaction.

How to Set Up and Use It

Step 1: Create Tag Contacts

  1. Navigate to the CRM and open a Company record.

  2. Under the Contacts section, tag relevant individuals — for example:

    • Billing Contact

    • Fulfillment/Shipping Contact

  3. These tags determine who will receive specific automated emails later.

Step 2: Create an Automation Rule

  1. Go to Tools → Automation.

  2. Click Create Rule.

  3. Under Events, you’ll find new options:

    • Fulfillment Order Created

    • Fulfillment Order Updated

These events trigger your automated email notifications when corresponding actions occur.

Step 3: Set Conditions (Optional)

  • You can define conditions to control when the rule runs — for example, based on order status or contact tags.

Step 4: Configure the Action

  1. Choose Send Enhanced Email as your action type.

  2. Fill in:

    • Subject Line: You can use dynamic fields like {{Order Number}} or {{Order Confirmation}} for personalization.

    • Body Content: Customize text or use dynamic text tokens to pull order-specific details automatically.

  3. Attach Files: Choose which PDF or document templates (e.g., packing slip, order confirmation) to include.

  4. Select a Template: Pick from pre-designed email templates like:

    • Sales Order Confirmation

    • Packing Slip Template

    • Shipping Update Template

Step 5: Choose Recipients

You can send the email to:

  • Specific contacts

  • Company contacts based on tags (e.g., only send to those tagged as Shipping Contact)

  • The primary company contact

  • The shipping contact on the order

This flexibility ensures the right person receives the right information every time.
