Skills (7)

Check Return Status

SEARCH

Looks up a return by its RMA number — its status, the order it belongs to, the reason, the refund amount and status, the items, and any return shipment tracking.

Create Tracking

EXECUTE

Registers a shipment with AfterShip so it is monitored from then on, optionally tagged with an order number and subscribed to email updates for the customer. Reports a number that is already registered as nothing to do.

Detect Carrier

SEARCH

Identifies which carriers a tracking number's format could belong to. Returns one carrier when the format is unambiguous, and all the candidates when it is not — it never picks between them.

Get Estimated Delivery Date

SEARCH

Predicts a delivery window for a route using AfterShip's estimation engine, before a shipment exists to track. Takes origin and destination countries as ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes, optionally with postal codes and a carrier.

Start a Return

EXECUTE

Opens a return request against an order in AfterShip Returns and hands back the RMA number the customer needs to quote. Reports plainly when AfterShip refuses, so a failed return is never described as one in progress.

Full Tracking History

SEARCH

Returns every checkpoint the carrier has recorded for a shipment, newest first, with time and location. Use for "where has it been" and "why has it not moved", where the current status alone does not answer the question.

Track Shipment

SEARCH

Looks up a shipment's current delivery status, carrier, expected delivery date and most recent carrier scan from its tracking number. The everyday "where is my order" answer.
