Summary:
1. Configuration process
Under this column, you can find the status for which Shipping Notifications are automatically sent.
☑️ Tick the left box if you'd like your customers to be notified for that status.
☑️ Tick the right one if you'd like to be notified too.
We send a copy of the email to the address indicated in My Profile > Sender Info
It's not possible to send the tracking emails only to your email address (copy)!
Only if the checkbox is selected for the customer to receive them, the "Send me the copy of the emails..." check would work. So sending the tracking e-mail to the customer is mandatory to be able to trigger sending the email copy.
Click then on Edit Template to edit the predefined template for that specific status. You'll be redirected to Track & Trace > Email Templates.
