Created by Kylie Hewitt, Modified on Tue, 2 Jul at 3:49 PM by Jess Bonnett

What is an Automation?

It’s a system set up to perform repetitive tasks in the background, ensuring everything runs smoothly without your constant supervision.

Imagine having a magical helper who’s always working behind the scenes, taking care of all the little things so you don’t have to. 


How Can an Automation Help Me?

An automation can be your secret weapon for business success! By programming our system to do tasks automatically, you can add, remove, or change just about anything you need without lifting a finger.


What Can We Automate?

  • Shipping RulesNeed specific shipping methods for certain locations or weights? We’ve got you covered! Automations can handle a variety of criteria to determine the best way to ship a package.
  • Packaging Materials: Require a special box for a particular item? We can automate that too!
  • Note to PackerWant to send a special note to our packing team for a specific item? Maybe a certain SKU needs some extra packing material, or a different packing paper than usual, you can let us know with an automation.
  • Add-On Products: Need to add a specific SKU to your orders, or include an item with orders that have a particular SKU? Whether it’s adding an instructional packet or including a promo item with every order, we can automate it!


These are just a few examples of the popular automations we offer. If you need something done automatically within Packiyo, there’s a good chance we can make it happen. Just ask!


How Do I Get an Automation Started?

Getting an automation set up is a breeze! Simply open a ticket and select “order automation.” This will take you to a form where you can fill out all the necessary information to get your automation up and running. Please note, that we need at least two business days to set up a new automation.
