📦 How to Assign the Right Parcel Based on the Product
Trigger: Order is imported
Condition: Product name ; Product SKU ; Product EAN ...
Action: Add parcels
Automating parcel selection based on the product in an order can significantly reduce manual work and packaging mistakes. To set this up, start by creating a new workflow with the trigger “Order is imported”.
Add a condition based on Product name, Product SKU or Product EAN — for example, target orders that contain products name like “Sneakers” or “Shoes”. You can refine this further using operators such as contains, does not contain, starts with, or is not, depending on your catalog structure.
Once your condition is in place, add the “Add parcels” action and select the specific parcel type from "My parcels". This ensures that every time an order containing the targeted product is imported, the correct parcel is automatically assigned — no manual selection needed.
Just give your workflow a name and save it. It’s a simple yet powerful way to standardize packaging and streamline fulfillment.
